Thanks for this info. I am still living full-time up north but have a property in Sumter which I hope to move to within the next 2 years.

Actually what you say is exactly what I thought because when I went on the ACA website all I saw were Blue plans. However, it sounds as if the poster I was responding to found out otherwise by going a different route. Does the ACA upcharge for those who come in over the 60,000+ limit versus going to an independent agent? Or maybe there are other Blue plans not offered by the ACA. Or possibly the poster I responded to is in another county. Hopefully he/she can clarify.
