A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.
These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy.
People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:
- 1 person - $65,801
- 2 people - $81,109
- 3 people - $93,983
- 4 people - $107,712
God damn I don’t want to keeping living here
I do and am willing to fight, in the streets if need be, to restore the Democracy we left England to establish in the first place. I owe it to my forefathers. Sadly this sentiment has and will continue to be lost on further and further generations of AI kids. I thank God that I was allowed to grow up before the advent of cell phones and the Internet. Real life fucked us up enough but we did it in person or over land lines. I will go to my grave knowing that the advent of these things were designed to achieve exactly what it has achieved.
