Have checked, double checked, and we do not qualify for subsidy either.

How do you start explaining it except with one word starting with "O". We live in Indiana and our Medicare supplement is Indiana University Health with reasonable rates and pretty good coverage. BTW, you are dead on about the middle class disappearing.

When my husband retired he had the choice of keeping the same medical coverage he had when he was working. We pay the same premium as we did when he was an active employee so we're not getting any special considerations as retirees, we are paying our full share, and with a raise coming in January, that will be $515 a month covering both of us. I thought it was getting a bit high but from all I read we got ourselves a real bargain. Medicare might be cheaper but it sure wouldn't be easier.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872914493612101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299245053089952472.post-39052754877394079442015-11-10T04:44:06.801-08:002015-11-10T04:44:06.801-08:00And the Repubs are no better.

I've got a lot of thoughts on this, but I will keep them to myself. Let's just say that white middle class ain't gettin' nuthin' on a lot of levels.

Virginia is one of those states that refused to participate fully in the ACA and all it offers. Coverage supposedly is better for those who live in states that chose to participate fully.
