So. How is Obamacare working for ya?

1 Answer

Answer :

I am so happy! Not for me, because I already have good insurance through my work, but my son and his wife got a great Humana plan for $52 a month. Before Obamacare, my son was paying $120 a month just for himself, and to add his new wife would have bumped it up to $280 which he couldn’t afford. So when he changed jobs a few months ago, he just didn’t have insurance at all. My other son was continuing to pay $180 a month for himself and his daughter, I told him to go on the marketplace and check if he could get a better deal, but he never got around to it. But, he discovered last night that he gets a nice tax break, at least.
