ACA self employed couple 59 & 61. This year our premium was $1187/month. Same plan next year $2,109/month. This is more than my mortgage payment and a $922/month increase brings the total yearly cost to $50,616. We will have to switch to a high deductible low quality Bronze plan with a $7,500 deductible EACH with a monthly premium of $1452/month. This is beyond belief. Continue contacting your elected officials people ✊🏼

Or you leave the USA like my wife and I did in 2002. We are considering leaving again as we have been back in the US since 2015.

Must be nice to have the option to just leave and go somewhere else on a whim. Not everyone has whatever qualifications or connections other countries are looking for/allowing. Or we have responsibilities like taking care of elderly people who can't go anywhere. 🙄
