This is really about trust, and people like Andrea from Omaha feels like that trust has been violated. It has been broken. She was told that she could keep her policy, but then she received her letter saying you cannot keep your policy. A working mom with two young children, her family's premium has risen to $770 from $450 per quarter. Her responsibility for coinsurance is now 50 percent, up from what it was before at 15 percent. Her out-of- pocket costs rose to over $2,000, and she is paying more for less now. This isn't a better policy, as we have been told. It takes a big chunk of their family budget. Unfortunately, under ObamaCare, she can't keep her plan. She gets more with less.
