I bet you are in the vast minority. People who make enough to warrant no subsidy, probably have their employer supplied healthcare, I would guess. If I had to go through ACA, I would a gotten a small one.
but my premium did drop by $4000 a year. I don't need a subsidy from the government with those savings.

Are you going to donate it to help the less fortunate?
Not exactly. Our church recently had a capital campaign for a multimillion dollar expansion so we'll probably put it toward that for the next few years and take the tax write off.

Good for you. Just a wash on the tax write offs, but going to a better purpose.
We think so. Some might disagree since it is a religious body but we are convinced that being part of the church is good for us and the community. Being part of includes helping to pay the bills.
I thought you and the hubby have government coverage, medicare?
It's not very expensive, either:

Maybe you should consult your older friends and learn about the "donut hole" You'll rethink your "not so expensive" comment.
Medicare is about 99.00 a month depending where you live. Supplemental friend is 159.00 a month.
If you fall into the donut hole it can mean many thousands of $$$ that you have to pay in prescriptions.
Doesn't matter if you go cheap (thrifty) on the prescriptions, such as generics, or get them from Canada.....the donut hole is figured on the high cost of the drug you have been prescribed..........and you only have a @$2800.00 ceiling.
I fell into the donut hole only 2 months on Medicare.........which means I was paying full $$$ for my prescriptions. Try pricing them. Some are $500 for one month's supply.
You need to educate yourself on Medicare and the supplemental plans and especially the donut hole. It won't be long before you face the same.....trust me on that!!

I am older. I also don't use any drugs, prescription or otherwise. It pays to take care of yourself. If you were a smoker, for example, and have health issues due to that choice, you should pay more.
I just checked the cost of plans for your area. I believe you exaggerate greatly.

I have the "friend" plan.....the Cadillac of plans !! I don't ever plan on changing....it may not be available to jump back into. When you have bills exceeding $180,000.00.....you need the best!!
It would seem as though you might be mooching off the rest of us healthy people. If your medical bills are in excess of $1880,000/yr, I wouldn't be complaining about $159/month for the best insurance that is available. Seems like a bargain, at the expense to the rest of us.
