Lots of babysteps with Obamacare, she.. but, many more people are realizing how it can actually help them. From the 3rd Anniversary on March 22, 2013 of ThinkProgress..
On Obamacare’s Third Anniversary, Here Are Three Ways The Reform Law Has Helped Real Americans
HUGE WAYS..
1. Diabetic Arthur from California finally has health coverage after being uninsured for five years.
2. Connie from Arizona got a $79 rebate from her insurance company in the mail.
On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that Obamacare has helped seniors save over $6 billion on their prescription drug costs by closing the so-called Medicare “donut hole” — and that’s not the only way that the law is already saving Americans money.
“..It was a surprise. My insurance agent tells me that my insurance is going to skyrocket. He hates Obamacare. I read the letter and I said to myself, ‘So what’s wrong with this? This is good.’”
3. Chronically ill Jen from Illinois doesn’t have to worry about losing access to her dad’s health insurance.
