I dont know what you expected for 175 bucks a month. For health insurance, that's a pittance. Insurance companies have, are, and always will find every way they can to screw you. This isnt news. This wasnt brought about suddenly. The difference is that now they cant offer 100 dollar plans with virtually no coverage at all and get away with it. And since they cant get away with it, they just dumped the loss of those lost extorted profits onto everybody else.

One would think that the primary goal of the ACA should actually be Affordable Care for everyone. It doesn't come close in any way, shape or form. It's just another government induced financial responsibility law, similar to auto insurance. Those on the government forced retirement, aka, Social Security will be hard pressed to budget for an additional monthly bill to buy a health policy that doesn't cover the exorbitant costs of modern health care. Only to be left with a high co-pay for any treatment received. Next stop is bill collector harassment.
Just what sick people need.
Since all people are being forced to purchase this crap, wouldn't it be better to just create a super group coverage policy? Then we all win to a degree. That might even eliminate the need for government subsidy of premiums for the lower income brackets.
Bottom line is... only the insurance providers will come out smelling like roses and we all get sheep dipped.
