I felt blessed when the Affordable Care Act was passed and I was able to get insurance for the first time in close to twenty years. I went to the Market Place and signed up for the best plan I could afford and it was a Godsend. I was diagnosed with Sjogren syndrome at that time and began a battery of lab work and doctor appointments. Went in for surgery to have a cyst removed and have been very pleased with the results so far.
Yesterday I received a notice from my insurance company that in 2015 my premiums, after subsidy, will more than double. The payments I had been making were doable, but the new payments are a whole different animal. I've got about a month to go back through the market place and reapply so I can plan out my budget for next year. I'm hoping to keep the same plan I am currently on, but only time will tell.
