Except the story you linked was ... wrong. There was no mention of a $1,000/month premium in the original Star-Telegram story. But here is something heartwarming from the original store: Lusk is retired and single. She has children, like the Kecsegs, and doesn’t want more. “I’m 57 years old,” Lusk said. “I’m single. I already have children. I’m too old to have children. I don’t have the equipment to have children, but on my new plan, I have maternity coverage. So I’m not real excited about that.” In recent weeks, she bought a private policy, effective Jan. 1, that is expected to increase her monthly premium to $420 from $360 and up her annual deductible by $1,000. She doesn’t want to buy through the exchanges, she said. “I don’t want any kind of subsidy,” she said. “I don’t want the government giving me money that takes away from a fellow citizen when I can pay for it. And I don’t want my personal information out there for anybody to have ahold of.” This woman is a real American. Unlike you, she refuses handouts from fellow taxpayers. OMG I wish there were more like her. Read more Th here: star-telegram.com
