The Health Insurance Exchange a.k.a. Obamacare a.k.a. waste of money


One of the biggest topics as of lately is health care, more specifically the Health Insurance Exchange a.k.a. Obamacare. I work for a pretty big medical group here in central Texas and hear about health insurance nonstop from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. I’m blessed to have wonderful insurance provided through Tricare, as my husband is serving active duty in the Air Force. My dad on the other hand, pays a monthly premium roughly around $650 a month for basically an annual well check and a few labs here and there. The medical group I am employed by, only accepts maybe two or three of the plans offered through Obamacare. It really upsets me that hard working people like my dad pay such high premiums for plans that aren’t accepted at most clinics. This article pretty much sums up what I hear on the daily by patients who may have had a different plan in 2016 but because their plan changed, we no longer accept it. I’m glad Obamacare has helped out a few people here and there, no one I personally know, but I do think it needs to be repealed.
