Agree, flyer. In late Oct, I downgraded my Covered CA plan from Platinum to Silver 73, due to my premium going up 20% for 2016. After that, I went in for my annual physical exam and promptly upgraded my 2016 plan to Gold the next day after learning of a couple of troubling issues. My Gold premium for 2016 will be nearly the same amount as my Platinum premium was for 2015 (same carrier).
I fear being hung out to dry with medical bills, etc, if I don’t have adequate coverage. And this is coming from a fit individual who is primarily a vegetarian and has worked out at a gym 3-5 days per week for the past 7 years (when not on the road).
We can’t control everything in life … even within ourselves. And none of us can choose our parents.
