    Its not the cost (an annoyance for me), but the fact it does no good the 300 days of the year I'm out of state...

    Truck insurance is also a fixed cost. If it's something you have to pay even if you don't turn a wheel, then it's a fixed cost.

    I hear you,They were supposed to allow "cross state lines" for purchase and coverage, put I stopped keeping up on it because of disgust,destain,and anger over O-care.Nothing like paying full price for something you can use 15% of the time,just make sure you spend your home time being sick,to get your bang for the buck

    I am with BC/BS Texas, I pay $298 mo, Mr Obama pays the other $300. I love Obamacare. It pays for out of state urgent care and emergency room. I am betting that your plan doesn't because you have to go up the scale a bit to get that coverage. Texas doesn't have a healthcare marketplace, it is the national marketplace. Calif has their own, I also bet that has something to do with it. Good luck.
