It would had been $100.00 cheaper if they lived in Los Angeles. And if you're a 64 year old, you would had been paying 5 times as much as a 21 year old. Next year, it's 3 times as much. It's a win for the elderly. At least you're not going to be bankrupted by medical bills.

And this, expanded to the entirety of the nation, is why the Republicans, or at least the conservatives are willing to go to the mat to either delay or defund the ACA (Obamacare)
570k of 1.9milion, thats a little less than a quarter who are going to be subsidized by the rest of the state, and thats just those who actually buy insurance themselves now. What is it going to look like when the individual Mandate kicks in and you HAVE to buy the insurance. In all honestly they wont, they'll pay the fine and get the covered medical care and screw the systeme worse than it is now.
