Obamacare while pretty good is flawed and has holes in it which anyone can fall through.

In 2012, I spent over $30K in out of pocket expenses trying to find doctors that can actually help my daughter. My family now has a portfolio of effective doctors, but they are all at different facilities. None of them is covered by Medicaid; none of them is covered by any one provider network except… Read More

As of January, 2016, our Healthcare provider has notified us that our rates will more than double. They increased by almost 20% from 2013 to 2014. There is no logic in not having every single American citizen pay on some level for care they receive, barring the elderly and disabled.

Hi I would like to point out a HUGE problem with the health care as it stands. My question is “what can I do about getting it changed?” I’m sure your answer will be “absolutely nothing…good luck.” but I’ll ask anyway. My husband and I are low income. when he was working for an employer… Read More
