So what is the answer for health care?

I am a little disturbed today as one of my goals is to start a business online and hopefully make more money than I am now. If I can pull this off, I will no longer be eligible for Medicaid and will have to purchase insurance on the exchanges. Not a big problem there until I opened up the Arizona Republic today and found that premiums are slated to be rising over 10% on the exchanges in Arizona next open enrollment reason, and I understand that deductible for silver plans can be 6K plus annually for individual plans. OK, we all know I can go to Mexico and get around this - no use playing that broken record yet again - how about people who don't want to go to Mexico (or some other country) or who live too far away or who face a life or death situation and are tied down to US health care by reason of not being able to travel? Not all of these people have 6K plus to burn through. So, really, despite some improvements I'm not seeing the problem solved. I don't know - can this ever be solved or do we just accept being vulnerable to US health care more and more every year, with more and more people knuckling under to medical tourism, being forced to for economic reasons?



I don't see any alternatives domestically, I really don't, though I do believe that some people have come out ahead due to the ACA. Definitely not all though, and I am starting this thread to see if anyone believes there can be any answers other than continual erosion (AKA the status quo). Rob
