Consumers. So it means that many consumers are paying very little to get very affordable coverage. We have 120,000 people paying less than 10 a month in bronze plans. 70 of those that have subsidies are picking a silver plan. Many of those in the cost sharing subsidy where in california at the highest cost sharing subsidy, an outpatient visit is 3 a bus ride. Theres no deductible. This is not the story across the nation. If you look an we did looking at colorado and miami, instead of having seven products like we have in l. A. , in denver they have 35 different silver products.

The roots of this crisis began in 1980 when a letter to the editor in the journal of medicine was misinterpreted as evidence. It was unlikely someone become addicted out of 4000 cases a center was only f ....

Our nation is in the midst of a tremendous fight against death affecting every corner of our nation. There were more than 52,000 deaths in overdose. A 20 increase in the prior year. It was almost seven time it is rate of death from the heroin epidemic of the 1970s. We learned we have lost roughly 60,0 0 people to Drug Overdoses. That is more in one year than all the names on the vietnam veteran memorial wall. That is likely underestimated because much of the data will not be in until the end of next year.
