In reply to the discussion: Just got my ACA premium notice for next year [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,875 posts)A friend of mine is now paying $800 a month because of these "changes". Her sister is considered low-income where she lives (>$80,000.00/year income ) and last I heard she was paying $85.00/month (is 62 years old at present and waiting to get on Medicare). What her new premium will be for this upcoming year I have no idea but I hope it is not the same as your experience is but nothing would surprise me at this point!
Many doctors where I live are no longer taking Medicare (including my own doctor and my husband's doctor) patients. So much for those "Medicare For All" cries IMO. Soon people on Medicare will wake-up and smell the coffee when they find there are no doctors that will have them as a patient and when they find the need for surgery, good damn luck finding a surgeon!
All of this said, I'm thinking the whole things sucks and sucks big time.
On edit: I do not need to see the letter you received as the thieves are out with very long knives, something I've been saying for sometime now ... like not long after the year 2000!!!
