Obamacare or the ACA. Billions later.

I reached a mild stone December 1st.  I went off Obamacare or if you want to use the real name, The Affordable Care Act ( ACA ).  I spent five years of being a burden to the taxpayer.  My case it was five years of low premiums out of my pocket.  From a low of $16.00 a month to a high of $360.00 a month.  At one time it covered the four of us.  Wife, daughter, son, and myself.  I saved a ton of money that on the surface sounds good.  Before Obamacare my deductible went from $1,500 to $2,500 to $5,000 if I would have stayed off Obama care.  Premiums went from $400.00 to almost $800.00 over three years.  So much for keeping my own insurance.

I would have been happy to stay on my plan and pay on average of 10% price increases yearly.  Obamacare denied me that luxury.  So I made the move to a plan that I cursed for five years.  You can say I was a ward of the state.  My payments were low.  But you the taxpayer?  Paid anywhere from $1,100.00 to $1,600 a month so I could get low payments and high deductibles.  Yearly the low for my family deductible was $1,500.00 to a high of $16,000.  Those included out of pocket.  So you the taxpayer paid $78,000 of my premiums over five years.  I paid $12,000.  What this doesn't include.  Now the government gives the insurance companies an additional $55 billion to help cover their losses.  So I paid $12,000 you the taxpayer paid $78,000.  Did I tell you that you paid over a million dollars of my medical bills?  That's  going to be part 2.
