I’m on Regent and I don’t know how I’m going to afford their rate increases, either. They don’t cover preventative medicine, either, which I also don’t know how I’m going to pay for.

Yep, the consequences of these spikes need to be further explored cause it seems they’re just shifting the problem unto medicaid. Taking this option away precisely from those who need it the most.
I wish that I had been able to get onto BH in the first place. The people who were able to get on and are having their rates increase are the lucky ones.
