So, here I am, still forking out better than 20% of my income for health Insurance, and fortunate to be able to do that by staying on the plan I had when I was working, except that now I have to pay the full nut for it.

We're paying about 15% of our (pre-tax) income for insurance. That affords me one well visit per year and meds. I could pay those myself out of pocket for about 1/10th of my premium, and I could easily pay to see the doctor more than once a year were it not for the cost of the insurance premium. So basically the mandate takes away my ability to see a doctor.

Did you see that family coverage is now about $18,500 a year?

It was "only" $13,000 a year early in Obama's term. We got scewed..... which is why the established politico needs to go. We're always getting screwed.
