"Trump administration's own actions are triggering double-digit premium increases..."

9. I'm sorry. That happened to me too.

I mortgaged all assets & therefore no equity, sold everything possible, went through savings, withdrew from retirement, & drastically downgraded my lifestyle, which was never on the high end. I guess I rode it out for a while. I'm lucky I had assets to liquidate, destroy, maybe.
Mine was medical & insurance related, some before Obamacare. I got on Obamacare Day 1, which helped with premiums, but I still had large out of pockets costs for the 20pc uncovered expenses.
For Rx, now, I usually take 1/2 or less than the dosage.

Actually, I think there are many, many people like me. We represent the middle class, who worked hard, paid off student loans, saved for retirement & put kids through college. Now, we are not really middle class, but on the edge, with a omnipresent background anxiety. Will we make it? What if this or that? No wiggle room. I cannot see my way clear, so I just carry on, in a diminished way.

It really does impact everything, relationships, friendships, enjoyment of life, private space, health, on and on.

Try to compartmentalize. Do all you can to fight the war on the middle class, poor & disabled, as you are bravely doing.
Then, sometimes put it on the back burner, and find a few escapes to enjoy life. Geez, if it were so easy to follow advice as to give it.
