Insurance worries.

I'm surprised on Facebook by how many posts I've seen worrying about health insurance - cancelled and changed plans, unaffordable employer plans, and the like.

I ended up okay so far, but who knows how far my current insurance really goes, the cost structures are so opaque that you never really know how much you'll pay ahead of time.

It's also weird for me b/c I'm in the window where I get subsidies, but if I try to up my income through part-time jobs, it becomes unclear how much subsidy I'll be getting and so if my living cost estimates will be off by a thousand dollars or two (=a big amount for me).

Obamacare needs tweaks, but who knows how long that will be until that happens.

Sigh.
