In one way we're in the same boat, another way, we're not.
Had the same thing happen to me. Had a very affordable plan called QualCare, which was replaced (mandatory, we had no say in the matter) by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Premiums went through the roof, $3,000 deductible, limited number of doctors that would even see you, let alone accept this plan, all the hassles that made me think, it doesn't pay to be sick. But you need medical attention, so they have you over a barrel.
But all this was back in July 2015.
I totally agree, this country needs affordable healthcare for everybody, especially if you have any pre existing conditions. But neither ChumpCare or OcrummyCare work.
Thank God I have coverage through my wife's Aetna plan, which is so much better than Blue Cross.
It is ridiculous if you live in a state and there is only ONE healthcare provider.
And if you want better (or affordable) coverage, you have to move.
