Like every social, political and economic policy in our country; health insurance is complicated. We started with an already complex system. Then Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed, setting up insurance “exchanges” that offer consumers and small businesses a choice of health plans. While hugely beneficial to many, definitely muddied already murky waters. Then just when I started to understand ACA, Trump starts to dismantle it. But politics are only part of the blame in the healthcare jumble. God forbid you are navigating through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), Medicare or Medicaid.
