[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm talking about an individual earning $50k whose kids are grown. There is no help for someone like that under the current ACA. [/quote] Nor, for a young, single healthy person. Even with a high deductible, the premiums are ridiculous. The ACA penalizes employed people who work for small companies that do not offer health insurance or the self-employed. Premiums have more than quadrupled in the last few years. And, the deductibles are ridiculous. A high deductible policy used to be quite affordable before the ACA. These are the people who are paying for the ACA. Those who do not have health insurance policies at work. When they put in the 26 year old coverage under parents' policy, they cut out a whole lot of the young and healthy. So, it really makes the costs higher for everyone else. [/quote] Part of the problem is also the heavy subsidies. When people with low income can get better coverage for free than what is affordable to people on medium level income, the balance is wrong. [/quote]
