This stuff makes me insane - and no one I talk to seems interested in learning about the problem or trying to fix anything. I think if more people (especially here in CA) had to pay their premiums out of pocket, there might be more backlash and support for change. For me, the $2,000/month premium for two adults is twice my mortgage and a little less than half of my yearly home owner's insurance. While our government is a circus-style shit show, I certainly hope that something can be done to at least stop some of the hemorraghing.

Great as always. Our son was funneled to Medical/medicaid until we asked to be disinrolled. It was somehow a credit in addition to our Western Health Advantage enrollment. It seemed a sneaky way to get people enrolled.
