We had a family meeting about this, this morning. Without the subsidy, my insurance will triple. Others will go up more. Another family member is terribly distraught because she will not be able to afford her insurance at all. I am concerned for her, but I can offer her no hope. It's a terrible position to be in. Another relative is finally making that move to Canada.

Funny, though, I have won a bet with a conservative friend. He said I would have better insurance under the new admin, and I said what I expected to happen was I would have to pay more for worse insurance. Now I expect I'll be able to collect! (it was a $100 bet). I do hope I can find, say, a $500 a month plan w/a $20K or $30K deductible. That would mean never going to the doc unless it was an emergency like breaking a leg or getting cancer, but at least it'd be something.
