I am self-employed and do not have coverage through an employer. I haven’t read through all the details yet but the health care coverage I could afford (higher out-of-pocket) is no longer available. I am now forced to take a “better” plan with a lower out-of-pocket but a higher price tag that apparently someone else has determined I should be able to afford. I usually utilize about $500 worth of health care in a year. Which is another reason I elected a higher deductible plan. I plan to drop my health insurance coverage and pay cash. If congress, congressional staff, unions, big business and other special interests can get waivers and exemptions then why shouldn’t I? This whole thing is a joke.
