of dealing with this BS on a month to month basis. I'm already a basket case. This BS is harming me mentally, emotionally and physically. Stress is harmful!!!

My ACA is $194 a month, in 2026 it will be $1,200 a month (33% of my income after taxes). I live in CA and it is VERY expensive. I save every penny and have my entire life since I have always needed health insur and no one would let me by it due to pre existing conditions, like getting a migraine. I've been preparing myself for this BS over the ACA since July. I told everyone I knew about it and everyone said I was over reacting and worrying over nothing. This only added to my frustration.

I can NOT continue to go through this over and over. It is TOO much!!!!!
