I'm in the same boat. To cover my wife and child on top of my employee portion of insurance, I'm at ~$1200 a month. It's more than my car and rent. Going through a long drawn out process of lowering my spending income down ~$15k a year only to move to ~20k with 2017 increases. I'm with m_gray though. Either party doesn't matter to me. Not a fan of Hillary or Trump. Just want someone to actually make a difference that doesn't include a higher cost to my wallet every time they enact something.

Neither is proposing something that could work. Normalized pricing based on income with transparency on procedures and tests. Deductible + premiums + out of pocket should add up to no more than 8-10% of my income. And out of pocket should be some fraction of real price based on income. It should always cost 3x to go to a hospital than a doctors office its just the amount should vary based on income. Let private insurance compete in the supplemental market. And offer public option on exchange.
