(3,811 posts)If you think it's easy for me to pay $1,150 per month for health insurance for my family, you're very wrong.
Our family has exceeded our deductibles and out-of-pocket limits for several years consecutively. I'm still making monthly payments to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital (or rather, to their collection agency) for my daughter's spinal surgery two years ago. I'm making monthly payments for my wife's surgery last year. And I was hospitalized in January of this year.
I'm not rich, far from it. I'm behind on my bills and I have no savings. Health insurance and health care costs take up a major part of my income.
I sympathize but your tone makes it hard. And while from this day forward every gripe and complaint about insurance companies and health care can be leveled against "Obamacare", it doesn't make it legitimate.
Don't you fret though, the GOP is working hard to repeal this onerous abomination.
