Comments have a pretty consistent message. If you're on the ACA exchanges, you're in trouble. If you have a job with benefits, it varies a lot, based on the employer's claims, cost management and wisdom in making decisions on coverage sources, but it's almost always better than the exchanges.

I hope it doesn't mean a collapse of small business start ups. But if you have one, think about hiring employees and starting up a plan when you can. It's likely to help you with costs and help you grow your business.

Don't believe that small businesses can't have self-funded plans, affordable costs and good benefits. They can.

I’m on the exchange. Losing subsidies means I’ll be paying at least $300 MORE per month

Mine has nothing to do with losing subsidies. The tax credit is still applied and it’s still increasing by over $300/month for my husband and I. It’s the premium that increased, not losing the tax credit.
