Dallas musician "hoping for a miracle" as his ACA premium faces a 445% monthly price hike [View all]
OTHER THAN gerrymandering and other assorted dirty tricks, I don't have a CLUE as to HOW Republicans think they're going to win in the midterms by pulling this shit. And YES...I am AWARE of how many "red state voters" will BELIEVE them when they BLAME IT ALL on Joe Biden.Jeff Liles is hoping for a miracle.
Last week, Liles, a backbone of Dallas’ music scene, sat down to complete his annual open enrollment for federal health insurance coverage and found himself staring down the barrel of a 445% monthly price hike. He’d known about the ongoing debates in D.C. regarding the Affordable Care Act, the federal program that guarantees him access to coverage, and he’d begrudgingly expected his monthly health insurance payment to double as a result.
Instead, the system’s estimate took his monthly premium from $440 to $2,400.
“I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do right now,” Liles said, adding that the new amount costs more than his monthly rent.
