and to add insult to injury: “…and the GOP just took away any chance of me having access to affordable health insurance…oh wait, there is no chance with GOP affordable health insurance because I’m doing risky ski shit…”

With subsidies through Connect For Health Colorado, I pay a $275 monthly premium for the Bronze Plan (the cheapest they got) that I can barely afford, all because I live in a county with world class skiing. I would be paying about $80/month if I still lived in Denver. It’s a real problem that will get much worse. If the ACA is gutted my premiums are expected to skyrocket, more than I pay for rent. At that point I’ll probably forego health insurance and maybe stop skiing and riding my bike because it’s too risky.
