A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.

These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy.

People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:

  • 1 person - $65,801
  • 2 people - $81,109
  • 3 people - $93,983
  • 4 people - $107,712

    Despite the state’s rightward shift, Florida leads the nation for Obamacare enrollment with more people relying on this coverage than anywhere else in the country.

      Cipolla’s 3rd Law of stupidity

      A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russell
