Attorney: Divorce rate likely to rise under Obamacare

SAN DIEGO — The Affordable Healthcare Act could make health coverage more affordable for some, but it may have other side effects, like an increase in the divorce rate.

heart healthFamily practice attorney Myra Fleischer stressed how healthcare costs carry a heavyweight when it comes to those considering calling it quits on their marriage.

“The middle class is what this is supposed to help and most divorces are middle class,” said Fleischer.

“We look at those numbers and they choose to stay in the marriage,” said Fleischer who explained how that may change after crunching numbers under the new health care law, for some potential clients, especially those with preexisting conditions.

“A $50,000 income and 40 years old, you’re looking at about $270 to $320,” said the San Diego attorney. “That’s significantly lower than some of the cost that I’ve looked at for clients over the past few years.”

Fleischer said depending on the cost, more young couples hoping to tie the knot could choose to delay or forget about marriage all together, if they get a cheaper deal staying single.

Considering that few couples care to get married anymore, this prediction might be somewhat, well, worthless.

Well, for Obamaphiles, hammering those of us who refuse to "get with the program" is extra gravy.
