    The insurance industry didn't need regulated, the delivery system needed overhauled.

    So naturally we ignored the disease and and treated the symptom.

    Nobody could have possibly anticipated three states that went for Trump by a cumulative 150,000 total votes thanks to Russian hacking and fake news.

    The popular vote means nothing, that's why the media, very sneakily, conflated the popular vote margins with the electoral margins and then proceeded to dishonestly pretend that the election was over.

    And the fake news thing is a hoax, not a talking point worth discussing. If they had anything, we wouldn't talking about hypotheticals and conjecture this deep in April.

    You make a good point - the "election's over" thing was a horrible misstep.

    However, again ..

    you're talking about a private/co-op program. You don't actually own a policy issued from the government. gotcha

    My only claim was that i had an unsubsidized Obamacare policy as in an ACA-complient policy.

    They can't be cancelled and cover most if not all preventative health.

    My out of pocket?

    Probably a few hundred bucks out of 3 grand.

    Good times!™ (not the prep or procedure .. but for sure the BILL!)
