Christina, I feel so much for all the wrangling you had to do!!!!! It's absolutely unconscionable beyond words the mess that stuff is.

Wednesday I finally dealt with the marketplace about my insurance for the coming year. Kept the same plan. My premium significantly more than doubled. Yes, I am making a bit more money, but not nearly justifying the level of increase. The difference alone in premium increase eats up significantly more than a third of the increase in pay. ($5,000 in pay, $2,000 in premium increase.) Premium alone is now nearly half the amount my rent is. F****** crazy!!!!!

The state of insurance/medicine/medical in this country is a ******* ******* disgrace.
