A first for Obamacare open enrollment — some stability as more insurers rejoin network
CNBC ^ | Fri, 2 Nov 2018 | Bertha Coombs

Nancy Sobin knows her way around paperwork. She started her own business three years ago, helping small business owners and elderly clients manage their finances. That's when she turned to the Obamacare exchanges for health coverage.

"I was fortunate enough, because I was just starting my business, to get a subsidy … and it was pretty good insurance" for about $300 a month, said the owner of Professional Paperwork Services in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

But as her business improved, her insurance options changed last year.

"I didn't get the subsidy anymore, because my business went well," Sobin explained. So, she switched plans to "the least expensive one I could get — and it was $750 a month."

With the Nov. 1 start of 2019 open enrollment on the Affordable Care Act exchanges, the New Jersey native says it looks like she may have to change coverage again.

"My same plan looks like it's going to be about $150 more per month" in 2019, or $900, she said.

Going to have to find some way of cutting the cost of insurance. Paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for what amounts to catastrophic coverage is BS!
