The Aca was a giant failure already. I am a working middle class woman. I have a choice to start a family, which my husband and I are doing responsibly- we have been married for five years, both work full time etc. I lost my original plan, despite what obama and the democrats promised, and was forced into a high deductible plan. This year, I met the deductible on my existing healthcare plan (a couple thousand since getting pregnant I’ve needed a lot more doctor visits and my healthcare costs were higher than normal). This is in addition to the monthly premium that is deducted from my paycheck (an additional $1500 a year approximately, and this is low since my employer generously covers the bulk of my premiums). Even though I pay the premium and deductible, I am still responsible for some of the fees for my delivery as well, 20% worth in fact. Fast forward to me being a few months into my pregnancy and my company got sold to a giant mega Corp (it was too hard with all of Obama’s/Democrats taxes and regulations on small business for them to compete anymore). The mega Corp laid off my whole team shorty after acquiring us, so as a pregnant woman I had to get a new job. Thankfully i had kept in good standing with my prior employer and they were able to take me back. As another small business, they had lost all of their plans too and could now only offer high deductible plans. So now, I must pay ANOTHER deductible plus my monthly premiums. ($2750 plus approx $1200 a year in premiums). This plan has a max out of pocket of $4000 which I most certainly will hit since the cost to deliver is so high. My employer found out our premiums are going up about 20% next year, this was announced long before trump signed any executive order and has been a trend since obamacare was implemented. My deductible on my existing healthcare plan renews in December. Since I’m due Jan 5, I will probably have to pay a whole other deductible again. In a nutshell it’s going to cost me at least $10,000 out of pocket to have my baby. I am solidly middle class, have worked since I turned 16 and have waited to a responsible point in my life to plan for the best for my child. Yet, democrats have punished me every step of the way with their policies. Nothing is “free”, someone is paying for it, always. While i don’t like executive orders when obama abused them or now under trump, if it forces congress to finally do something to get rid of obama care, then I am all for it. If I went onto my husbands insurance, our premiums would skyrocket to around $450 a month, since I’d be penalized since i have a healthcare option from my employer. So the baby will be on his plan and I on my own with my employer, since the aca sucks we can’t take advantage of a family rate because of the premium penalties. This is my reality thanks to democrats.
