On that subject, I was talking to someone last year who was in that situation, wasn't eligible for a group plan and was going on and on...about how screwed up and expensive Obamacare was.
I told him I empathized with him about how hard it must be, to try and get health insurance in his situation...as an individual under 65 and not being part of a group.
His exact response was, "actually it's not all that bad now, because I was able to get health insurance coverage that I can live with, at a fairly decent cost...under the ACA."
I was, of course...left totally speechless.
While I'm fortunate that I'm not in that situation, I have heard from numerous folks...that SHINE is very knowledgeable and helpful.
