For farmers (agriculture has fallen to 5% of the workforce, I think), it is near impossible to buy health insurance (like any family business). The ACA, where I get mine, gave one and the only new option. Every farm family I know, one spouse works an “insurance job” i.e. state employment, post office, etc. to get family coverage. If you get older, and well-off enough to buy it without supplemental help, it takes out 10% or 15% of income.

ACA was the only insurance my wife could get when I was consulting. I wish Republicans would listen to farmers and others who need an otherwise unnecessary 2nd or 3rd job just pay for useless Health Insurance.

I think it will change in the future.
