Obamacare

Last year I was financially forced to opt for a lesser policy. It was $434 a month. The rest stayed about the same. Since I cannot afford to get sick or injured, the massive OOP number doesn't matter.

Sadly next year (2017) my premiums are going up 32% this year alone to $638 a month. I literally cannot afford that. 4 years ago I was payin about $250.
I have begun to seriously consider not being insured and just paying the penalty. This is totally fucked up.

I'm guessing that the vast majority of you all have plans through work and this isn't affecting you as much as the rest of us.
