They call it inflation cooling — but your health insurance is about to double

Here’s the part they don’t tell you in the headlines: if Congress lets the ACA subsidies expire, premiums across the board will jump an average of 114%. Employer plans aren’t safe either — costs are projected to rise 6.5%, the biggest spike in 15 years.

So while the suits say inflation is under control, the bill for staying alive just doubled.

Here’s my question: how much of your paycheck should health care be allowed to take before we call it theft?

Is it 10%? 20%? Half? Because at some point, it’s not health care anymore it’s a ransom.
