when you investigate the ACA be sure to look at all of the costs...hidden and otherwise. a buddy who voluntarily dropped his health insurance 3-years ago (before he discovered he was diabetic and nearly went permanently blind from it) because, while he could afford the premium, he never got to use it with the $3000 deductible. now 3-years later here comes the ACA. the good news is his pre-existing condition is covered but the policy he can now afford comes with a $5000 deductible. yeah, the monthly premium is half what it used to be but his out-of-pocket costs just skyrocketed.
caveat emptor.
Double Yikes!
".....voluntarily dropped his health insurance".:R
Hmmmmmmm....
I've never had an auto accident - just keep on paying for insurance I've never used - and obviously don't need.
The two I mentioned both had DEcreases in premiums *AND* deductible.
Of course,
*everyone* should look at the costs for anything and everything!.:S
(As well as the potential results of whatever action taken)
