Fun and games

 I doubt any of my readers are affected by this but check it out anyway. Go to Healthcare.gov website and select button to preview plans. It will prompt you to answer questions but just press the skip button, except where it ask for your zip code. You will come to a button to view full price plans, sit down and select that option. Do not worry about HMO versus EPO, just focus on premium, which changes based on your projected income. Go thru it once or twice utilizing different different zip codes.

  What we checked was 76225 (Wise) and 78541 (Hildalgo)


 76225: BlueCross HMO $1200 per month per person (two people equals $28,800 per year) PLUS deductible


 78541 multiple provider EPO plans roughly $500 per month per person (two person family $12,000 per year) PLUS deductible


 $16,800 per year difference. And that is if you NEVER go to a doctor...


WTF???


 Anybody talks to me about how great the Affodable Care Act, otherwise know as Obama Care,. is at risk of getting punched. What a crock of crap.


 On a personal note our premiums go from roughly $13,200 in 2016 to roughly $28,880 in 2017. An increase of $15, 680, roughly 218% INCREASE  for L E S S coverage and options.

  Bye, Bye Wise county....
