I've been buying Kaiser coverage out of my own pocket for years, so I really supported the ACA, and looked forward to saving money. It sure didn't work out that way for me.
I don't have enough income to qualify for subsidies--they just rolled us into the Quest program. Everything's free then, right?
Except: Kaiser doesn't accept Quest on this island (they do on Maui and Oahu). Also, none of the doctors various people recommended accept Quest.
I finally found a GP that takes Quest, and it turns out that the specialist I need doesn't take it.
So I've gone back to paying Kaiser--but the monthly premiums are nearly double what they were last year, for what appears to be about the same coverage.
Single payer is the way to go!
