Health insurance jumps

Dear Editor:

Oh, Happy New Year to my health insurance provider! They tell me that my coverage is still being offered, but “some details may have changed.” Well, what are those changes? OK, my 2016 monthly premium was $630.81 – and now in 2017 that premium will be $740.49 and my annual deductible will go from $6,850 to $7,150.

Isn’t that great? That’s the Affordable Care Act “Tin” Plan! Thanks to President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest. This is the result of the Socialists healthcare plan. No competition, please. Let the government take care of you.
