    I’ve been either self employed, or worked for a very small company for 25+ years, and never had reasonable access to insurance.

    With the covid era subsidies, we finally had insurance for the first time for the last few years.

    Between the policy doubling in price, and the loss of subsidies we would have been paying way almost $2000 a month, so now we don’t have insurance again.

      It’s honestly starting to look like your better off without insurance. When the hospital kicks you the bill, pay 20 a month max so they can’t kick it to collections and ruin hr credit and just do 5-20 a month untill you croak. Fuck em theyll never get paid in full this way but u don’t have to financially ruin yourself in the process.
