A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.

These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy.

People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:

  • 1 person - $65,801
  • 2 people - $81,109
  • 3 people - $93,983
  • 4 people - $107,712

I do and am willing to fight, in the streets if need be, to restore the Democracy we left England to establish in the first place. I owe it to my forefathers. Sadly this sentiment has and will continue to be lost on further and further generations of AI kids. I thank God that I was allowed to grow up before the advent of cell phones and the Internet. Real life fucked us up enough but we did it in person or over land lines. I will go to my grave knowing that the advent of these things were designed to achieve exactly what it has achieved. An apathetic populous hooked to their rage scrolling of TicTok videos.
