He and his wife, retired and in their late 50s, have been buying their own health insurance from Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) in North Carolina, paying about $380 a month with an $11,000 deductible. BCBS is offering them a new plan for three times the cost, $1,124.50 a month, still with an $11,000 deductible. democrats knew this would happen and just didn't care.

First, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) sets minimum standards for benefits, including mental-health and substance-abuse treatment, maternity care, prescription drugs, and rehabilitative care, which were not included in many of the old plans. Second, Some Democrats did care (notably Nancy Pelosi). Under her leadership the House passed a bill containing a Public Option. Unfortunately, the head democrat-wall-street-lacky in charge was the type of democrat you describe.
