That is just straight math. Or don't they have that in Texas/NE Calgary either?

Well thankfully Obamacare is finished, just like his legacy, and we will see if the Republicans can pass a Bill to help out families like mine find insurance that is affordable again.
The way I understand it is Insurance can be compared to Phone carriers. If we only had one or two options available then a monopoly is created and prices will remain high. When competition is introduced, prices decrease. In Obamacares case he was handing out free phones with free plans to people that don't work and making everyone else on the network pay for this.
Now before you get too excited about the special conditions of people that can't work because of illness or other special cases, the republicans have stated many times that they are going to take care of these people - which I believe they should.
