I work at a company dealing with retirees dealing with premium increases ranging from $200-$800+ monthly. These people have a limited income some even are even paying for Medicare. They are canceling their insurance because they have to choose between health insurance or mortgage or health insurance or groceries.

And this is group insurance through their previous employers. I can’t even imagine the cost for individual insurance. Existing medical conditions doesn’t help either.
