A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.
These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy.
People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:
- 1 person - $65,801
- 2 people - $81,109
- 3 people - $93,983
- 4 people - $107,712
Trump is the one who decided to divert money from health insurance for ordinary people to tax cuts for billionaires
I’m sure they know that. Back in the Obama days, saying “thanks Obama” for things that couldn’t possibly be Obama’s fault was a popular way to mock republicans, who legitimately did blame Obama for literally every problem the US had.
