Obamacare Restrictions Lead Brooklyn Couple To Consider Divorce 'We Would Save Thousands Of Dollars If We Got Divorced,' Woman Says November 6, 2013 5:23 PM

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — From website crashes to long holds on calls, the issues involved with the unveiling of the Affordable Care Act are well documented.

But now, could it be breaking couples up?

CBS 2’s Don Champion spoke to one Brooklyn couple on Wednesday who said they may be forced to get a divorce to get health insurance.

Nona Willis Aronowitz and Aaron Cassara’s love affair began at a party in 2008.

“We kissed on a bean bag chair,” Aronowitz said.

A year later, it grew into a marriage at City Hall in Manhattan.

“It was really sudden,” Aronowitz said. “It was basically because he needed health insurance, and I had a job that would give that to him.”

But four years later, there is now irony in the fact the couple could soon divorce for the same reason.

Since when do leftists disdain divorce?

If they got a free abortion with their divorce they’d probably be Dem poster children heroes.

A little thing I wrote at the beginning of October:

[Shameless Vanity] Obamacare and the Destruction of the Family

Sad to see that it's started already.

This is not right. They didn’t get married because of insurance.

Well done.

Sadly, Liberals/Progressives don’t realize that “economics” is actually a study of human nature.

Aronowitz, a freelance writer, and Cassara, who works as a freelancer in the film industry, lost their health coverage recently when Aronowitz was laid off.

Pelosi poster couple. Now that Obamacare is passed aren't we all supposed to be free to be artists and writers without worrying about health care insurance?

My boat neighbor works for Blue Cross and has been working with people re: Obamacare. He told me divorce is what would happen to alot of people because it would be a huge financial benefit to some. If Hubby and I lost our current insurance divorce would be worth more than $10k a yr on the exchanges. That’s alot of money.

I think every one income family should divorce and the one who doesn’t work should get on the dole.
