I realize cunts like yourself are getting your healthcare for basically free but you do realize that SOMEONE is paying for it, right?

LOL, that's not tripled you little twat. Not only that, but the increases THIS year are a direct result of Trump threatening NOT to pay the subsidies:

He added the uncertainty into the market and the insurance companies were forced to respond. They're companies, don't you know. Corporations looking to make a buck.

Ugh... between the time Obamacare DIDN'T exist and the day before Trump's amazing election, my rates TRIPPLED fuckface. Those numbers are the average. Did you see in the Time article where it said in some states the rates DOUBLED just between 2016 and 2017?

My insurance had 100% coverage before the big nig fucked with insurance. My deductible for a doctor visit was $20 and that included emergency room. I now have 60% coverage and a $100 deductible, $150 for emergency room if I don't spend the night in the hospital. Despite my shitty wages, the insurance was nice. But pole smoking democrats instituted a 40% Cadillac tax. Here I did more of your research for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_insurance_plan:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act imposes an annual 40% excise tax on plans with annual premiums exceeding $10,800 for individuals or $29,500 for a family starting in 2020, to be paid by insurers.

I'm probably low on my estimates in my original post. And by the way, I didn't get a raise to compensate for the new costs.

You're a fucking moron. Get the fuck out of here.
