We were paying about $650 per month and a $4,000 annual deductible.

Obamacare forced our insurer to cancel our plan.

First lie: "If you like your plan you can keep it".

The new plan was $1,450 per month and a $9,000 annual deductible.

Second lie: "A family will save $2,500 per year".

Even at that, we lost many of the doctors.

Third lie: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor".

There's more in the details (co-pays, etc.). The above would be enough to throw any business person in jail for fraud. Yet we somehow tolerate and rationalize our elected officials behaving this way.

I don't particularly like Trump but if anyone is wondering why he got elected, well, start by understanding the true depths of Obamacare and go from there.

Do you think it's possible that your prior policy was one of the garbage plans that got outlawed by ACA? Those are the ones that didn't survive the "you can keep it" claims. Those were plans with uselessly low annual or lifetime limits, too much small print, etc.

Impossible. Not garbage at all. We had the same policy for about 15 years. It was better than what we have now for three times the money.
