   Doubtful your May 2012 or May 2013 increases had much to do with the   
   ACA. I pay under $1000 a month with a $200 annual deductible for health   
   insurance, and I have a $10 co-pay for doctors' office visits and my   
   hospital bills are paid in full. I pay $5 for generic prescriptions and   
   20% for non-generics. Recently had cataract surgery on one eye, and my   
   total out of pocket charges were under $100. Same for a colonoscopy.   
      
   I'm in a group plan and am paying the full amount for an individual. If   
   I added a family member, it would be another $225 a month.   
      
   You are doing something wrong. Are you in a Republican state where the   
   governor decided not to set up a state exchange?
