[the other guy]

Got a letter from my insurance company yesterday explaining that due to the mandates of the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT my cobra health insurance rates will change from $773.00 to $972.00. Now that just seems like they should change the name to the unaffordable care act.

Here's my situation, I was granted social security benefits back at the first of the year(heart failure, back surgery) I had some money put back so we have made it pretty good so far. But how can someone survive for long on $2200.00 a month while paying out $972.00 a month for health care?

My son received a raise at his job in October. His company just told them that due to increases in premiums the employees share would have to be increased the increase wiped out his raise.
Just wanted to know how everyone else is doing on this?
