Before Obamacare, as a sole proprietor, it was very tough to get decent health insurance in NY State. The last year, I was paying $892 a month, with a $50 deductible for doctors visits and $15 per prescription after a $50 annual deductible. The first year of OC, my premiums were $468 and I got a $320 tax credit , so my out of pocket was $148. No deductibles and my prescriptions were free. This year, my premiums went to $529 and my tax credit fell to $220. So should I be outraged that my cost this year more than doubled- from $148 to $309, or rejoice that I'm still saving about $7000 a year from before it started. For 2016, my premiums are currently $55something and my tax credits stayed the same. I'm moving to Nevada so I will need new insurance. Policies look pretty good so far.
DonDiego congratulates billryan on his good fortune with Obamacare; perhaps he has managed to fall into a sweet spot of the badly-drafted legislation.
DonDiego certainly hopes that billryan is not among those who's credits were un-verified, the original subject of this thread.
