Jt will jump in and call this couple liars. This is from al.com. Al.com is more lefty slanted than Hillary herself. They are always carrying the lefties' water.
Doug and Pat Hoffman are in their early 60s and purchase insurance coverage through the marketplace. Both recently retired from full-time employment and don't receive insurance through the workplace. The Hoffmans don't qualify for tax credits and have paid full price for coverage.
This year, the couple paid $1,270 per month for a silver plan from UnitedHealth. Next year, they will probably pay $1,621 a month for a bronze-level plan that has higher deductibles and co-pays. Hoffman and his wife will have to pay more than $6,000 out-of-pocket before insurance coverage even kicks in. He estimates that he and his wife will spend more than $22,000 on health insurance and routine medical care in 2017.
"We're not going to go to the doctor unless it's absolutely necessary," Hoffman said. "When I go, I will want to know what that doctor is charging me for every test and procedure. I'm going to drive my doctors crazy with questions about the necessity of every order."
