One woman the other day said she has a medical condition, but only pays $100 a month for her healthcare. How can that be bad?
Some people complain that the cost of healthcare is going up. Um, yes. It goes up EVERY year. Always has, always will.

Nobody is getting healthcare for $100 per month. Someone both very young and very subsidized and single could possibly get a bronze plan for that under ACA but those cover dickall and have large copays, prescription costs, etc. So, if she is getting any actual care for a medical condition, she is paying more than that.
Prescription prices and such have not just gone up under ACA; they have skyrocketed. I have one prescription, for example, which is super old generic stuff and I've used it since the 1980's. Over the years, it came down to $9 a fill as a cash patient. Not a big deal, even in a lean year. Since ACA, it is now $200 a fill. That is NOT just normal inflation, business as usual.
