I'm getting a bit worried about this trend... Back in my day, we had to deal with our own share of medical bills, but at least we knew what we were paying for 
. Now it seems like people are being priced out of healthcare just because of those pesky premiums 
. I mean, $686 a month? That's not even the cost of a decent pizza anymore 
! And to make matters worse, the Essential Plan is still super popular, which just highlights how unaffordable private insurance is for so many folks 
. What's gonna happen when those first premium bills come out? 
People are already being forced to cut back on things they can't afford without health insurance... it's a tough situation all around.

the stats are straight fire, 3% decline in enrollment? that's a lot of people leaving healthcare behind 
what's going on with health insurance prices?! 
I mean, I get that costs go up, but a 3% decline in enrollment is just crazy! And it's not like people are saying no to healthcare, but the Essential Plan is actually seeing an increase? It's like they're trying to help people, but it's not enough. 
We need more solutions than just "you can either pay more or live without" 
Rebecca Boyden's situation is so relatable - who can afford to cut back on everything else just to pay for health insurance? 
! More affordable options, more subsidies... something needs to be done to make healthcare accessible again
