@wfsbnews: A Ridgefield couple is among thousands of Connecticut residents facing skyrocketing healthcare costs, with one being a cancer survivor forced to pay thousands more to continue routine screenings. Remy and Nina Deyglun have lived in Ridgefield for 30 years and have relied on healthcare coverage through the government for the last 15 years. Their current monthly premium is $963. The couple is in sticker shock looking at costs for the same plan next year. “It would go up to $4,157 just for the premiums,” Nina Deyglun said. “So, we’re going to the cheaper one which is $3,352.” #connecticut #localnews #breakingnews #news #wfsb #ct #ridgefieldct #healthcare #premiums #healthcarepremiums #governmentshutdown #healthinsurance #acesshealth #ConnectiCare #cancer #bladdercancer #yale #yalenewhavenhospital #oncology #subsidies #republican #democrat #openenrollment

Nikki_Ramia :

Both retired? I know more couples than I can Count where one person remains working for their healthcare cost until they go on Medicare. Am I missing something?

LissaGenX :

Thanks to Obamacare. I remember Republicans warning this would happen but no one wanted to listen.

I’m terrified. We already pay $1500 a month and we have a disabled daughter. Tripling puts us at $4500 a month.

Obamacare goes by income

I’m really confused about this actually- if you try to replicate this quote- you have to be bringing in something like 200k a year as retired couple? They should get him his Connecticare- but if she doesn’t have health problems get the cheapest of the cheap for herself ….or go back to work and see what they have to offer - like she said.

F George :

No developed nation will allow this……. GREED !

Cindyloohoo :

And CT gave millions to illegals during Biden years smh!

Mr. Bob Dobalina :

Maybe if the State didn’t spend $$ on illegal healthcare, there would be more for citizens!

FG4life :

What about the subsidies for those working full time with double the cost of the previous year’s premiums. It’s all out of control!

The Big Beautiful bill passed by the GOP/MAGA cut money from Obama Care, SNAP and Medicaid. People put the GOP and power and this is what we get. Billionares got tax cuts though!
