“I will close my comments with two additional anecdotes that really strike at what Middle America is all about and what suffering and economic pain Middle America is going through right now as a result of ObamaCare. Michael from Dunwoody, GA, wrote in and said: I had a really great policy for $277 a month. The premiums were paid by my Flexplan from my employer and the excess my employer paid to my flex each month kept my balance increasing. I now have about $35,000 accrued. My provider cancelled that plan and my Flex now offers a lesser plan. The premiums went to $550 a month. I actually joined AMAC and used their service to find a plan from a different provider. I must now pay the premiums out of my own pocket as President Obama won't allow me to use my own money from my flex plan to pay these premiums. HOW IS THIS LEGAL? I thought it was my money; apparently it's only my money if I buy what Obamacare says I can buy. I had to choose a plan with a $5,000 deductible to make my premiums affordable. Lastly, Mary from Powder Springs writes: I am an educator with the Cobb County School System. As a reactionary measure to Obamacare, the State Board of Community Health gave state employees only one company option for our health insurance this year. My premiums were going to be $1,800 per year higher, my deductible was going to be $2,000 higher, and the percentage of what was covered went down.…”
