THAT is the apples to bananas I spoke of earlier.
Does it matter what her policy consisted of? No. She chose a policy, that policy had a premium, and it tripled under ACA. What is there to defend about that?

11% of your gross income is double what you pay now??? Freak What are you on Medicaid now? 5% of gross is nothing.

If you make 35K then that is 150 a month at 5%. People tithe 10% to the church...if you cant make 11 % i think god will forgive no tithe in order for you to have a silver plan.

$150 on a $35K salary is a schit load of money. People who make this kind of salary will be the first to tell you they can't afford that kind of payment after paying for food, rent, gas, etc. ACA is a family budget killer.

There is another thread title here with the OP claiming that his premiums doubled. When asked to back that up 'doubling' was found to be false.

That great that you have a drinking habit, but the rest of us might have more important things to spend the money on, like putting food on the table or gas in the tank to get to work.

You are currently insured. You do not need to get insurance through the exchanges.

We are attempting to stop the train because we know the bridge is out and millions of people riding the train are in great danger....
