After the Affordable Care Act was passed, I quit buying paper towels as a protest.
That protest will be continuing into 2021, as our health insurance is about to increase by 16%, after increasing by 15% last time.
There are also some changes to the provider network; the base network remains the same, but the insurance company has created an additional, extra-restricted network, and an incentive for people to use it: a lower deductible.
This annual ratcheting-down of services just to keep the costs on the painful side of "affordable" is not sustainable, especially when health insurance is required by law to provide coverage for a number of services.
