9. I get my insurance through the marketplace.

Dec 2024

Because I'm self-employed, if the Trumpzis kill the tax credit, my insurance premiums go from $322.62 a month to $1,409.62 a month. That's almost $17,000 a year, plus copays, and a deductible.

When I tell that to people I know who are on Medicare, or get their insurance through their work, they think I'm wildly exaggerating those numbers just for dramatic effect.
