Obama-care strikes hard blow

Tweet

Now everyone knows I have no love for our government the way it is being run. I am even more upset now then yesterday. Today my husband had a meeting about his job's health insurance. They where told that because of all the new things needing to be included in our health care package via Obama-care the cost of our insurance will be doubling. Not only will it be doubling but due to the increased cost the company will NOT be giving cost of living raises this year or next. We barely scrape by, my husband makes what he did two years ago but with the cost of living jumping so high, the take home pay that used to leave us a little extra each month barely makes the bills. This will make it so that we cannot pay all of our bills with out another form of income coming in. So really how can people tell me that Obama-care is better and cheaper? We will be paying out almost $400 more a month on forced services we will not use and know we will not use. We are the lowest end of the "middle class" and when I say lower end we do not get help from our state because my husband makes $47 over the income limit, though each year that limit increases and at this rate we will qualify by next year even with a good paying job. I was under the impression this was supposed to help the people but I would love to know how it is helping those people out there like us just trying to make ends meet in what was once good paying jobs, we are slipping down the ladder not by what we have done but because of this government and what it hasn't done. Last year I became an Avon consultant to make ends meet, this year I will need to take time from my children (who I home school) and home just to try to be able to pay our bills.
