(407 posts)Unlike some who have posted here, and on other sites I visit, I will be paying more (about 150 a month more) for less coverage than I have no. Now, I live in South Carolina, where our governor has refused to set up at state exchange, so I might have done better in another state.
Still, I am pleased by the result. That's because the coverage I have now is COBRA coverage that would run out soon. And before ACA, the result would have been that I would be a candidate for the state high-risk pool, which would require that I go without insurance for six months.
I do have a nice collection of chronic illnesses, so sic months without my doctors and medication would have been a disaster! So yeah, I am happy to pay for this coverage.
Oh, and I have always called it the ACA.
