Affordable Care Act Makes Insurance Unaffordable

Remember how we were told by President Obama that the Affordable Care Act would make health insurance more affordable for millions of Americans? Remember how he has slammed the efforts by Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund the legislation most people call Obamacare? One of his favorite lines is to point out, falsely, that the GOP is wanting to prevent millions of Americans from obtaining health care insurance, just to mess with him. It may be news to the President, but our opposition of the Affordable Care Act has nothing to do with him, other than that we are trying to expose the lies that he, and others, have told about the legislation.
A prime example would be the case of Andy and Amy Mangione of Louisville, KY and their two boys. They recently received a notice in the mail from their health care insurance provider, Humana. The notice carried some very surprising and unwelcome news. They currently pay $333 per month for their high-deductible insurance plan. Starting in 2014, the cost of that plan will be $965. In case you are counting, that’s an almost triple increase of the original cost of the plan. According to the notice from Humana, the increase is the direct result of the Affordable Care Act, aka ACA.
