    I'm not a driver anymore, but I am self employed. I went through the healthcare.gov site and got a really good plan. The monthly payments are pretty reasonable compared to how much coverage I have. Before the Affordable Care Act I'd be paying through the nose for the kind of coverage I have now.

    Is your premium based on your declared income? If so, isn't your "pretty reasonable" coverage rate being subsidized by the taxpayers?

    The insurance companies are being subsidized by the taxpayers for the first couple of years. After that goes away, just wait and see how "affordable" health insurance will be. This is the biggest scam ever hoisted on the American people and could end up being the final financial nail in our collective debt coffin.

    Most people have no idea what is about ready to happen...
