> Now that those subsidies are going away for next year, premiums are going to spike. For example, if someone paid $60 a month for their health insurance this year, they might be looking at $105 a month next year.

I was on the exchanges, unsubsidized, until this year. Last year's premium went from $3,000/month to $3,600/month. I had to buckle and get on a company plan with less coverage this year.

Meanwhile, every other piece of spare real estate in town is a new medical facility. Urgent cares, palatial orthopedic facilities… There's a crash coming.

I want to know details of your situation, because my exchange premiums are like $300/month.

Platinum plan (which winds up most fiscally responsible for us - we max out the low out-of-pocket-max reliably), four people. Something like a bronze plan wouldn't save us any money; lower premiums trade for high deductibles and copays. Good if you're healthy.
