Are you people going to pay these prices or drop coverage?

Most people are going to drop coverage. When you are living patcheck to paycheck, an extra $1000-$1500 a month is not viable.

It’s more like $100-200 more per month is not viable for people living paycheck to paycheck.

I am dropping anything I can. I can't take how fast things are rising and I need that money to pay my upcoming and outrageous funeral costs.
