Ah. The Affordable Care Act which was supposed to make health care affordable. We suffered for many years with the same high premiums but our deductibles were higher. Our employers did not offer healthcare. So basically paying an extra $30K per year and not have anything covered since the deductible was so high. It truly caused us financial distress. Rates are not determined by gender or health status or preexisting conditions - but wait - rates determined by age! And oh my gosh are the rates astronomical the years leading up to Medicare.
