I put the difference in my HSA to cover when something happens that is more serious. I believe those types of plans are now illegal and that's why they're being cancelled.
This law was a a criminal act in my opinion.
In reality, it's not just Obama. It's every one who voted for it. It's also the media who equate health CARE with health INSURANCE. They are not the same thing, folks.
Anyone who truly thought they could use more insurance to solve a problem that was created and perpetuated by insurance was incredibly stupid and I've been saying that from day 1. Worse, I think a lot of people knew they couldn't solve it by forcing more insurance but went along because that's the way their bread is buttered.
