AND... the coverage will be much better than the "cheaper" alternatives that were available before AFA. Which will be very important to you as you age.

The lack of full-time jobs with decent pay and benefits in the south well predates the Afordable Care Act. The south has historically been a lower-paying area of the country, comparing job to job. I guess it used to be cheaper to live in the south, making up for the difference, but it doesn't seem to be so much the case lately. Much luck to you in your search.
