i'm very sorry to hear about the higher rates. the fact is for some people -- particularly those who don't qualify for a subsidy -- insurance rates will be higher. you might have better luck shopping off your state's exchange. since you don't qualify for financial help you can look for a broader range of options some of which may be less expensive. you can start searching for plans available in your area by going online to a site like ehealthinsurance. com. there's also an 800 number where you can work free of charge with a licensed insurance agent who may be able to help you find a plan you can afford.
our health insurance ppo policy was canceled and the cheapest policy on obamacare for our family is $500/month more. . this will raise our bill from $333 to $853 for my husband and me. we cannot afford this increase. we barely squeeze by as it is. i contacted our state health exchange and was told we do not qualify for a fee reduction based on our income.
