My son, daughter, son in law, 2 granddaughters have no health insurance. Lower middle class got priced out by Obamacare pricy mandates. Youngest son went to Haiti church mission trip twice, came back with flesh eating skin disease twice. His body has fought it off, took years. Couldn’t afford Dr.

Youngest grand, 1 yr old, has hip displacia, lots of dr visits, treatments, paying cash for all. No insurance. Baby born at home. Can afford dr, hospital. I gave her 4k for midwife. We are retired.

Lower middle class can’t get obamacare subsidy, can’t afford health insurance. Stuck in middle.

I helped youngest son sign up for subsidized health insurance for under $100 a month. I planned to pay it. Bill came in for $244 a month. L8ke I said we r retired, our Medicare charges us $1400 a month for 2 of us, they take it out of our SS checks. This hit out retirement budget pretty hard. We so rarely go to a Dr.

Oldest son has health insurance at work. $1000 a month premium, big co pays, he only makes $32K a year pays more than 1/3 of his gross income. Married since 2007, health insurance used to be affordable before obamacare

Our niece in new Mexico has so health insurance, can’t afford it.

I bet these terrorists who bulb themselves in botched attacks like subway bomber, get free emergency room and hospitalization. We pay for that.

Our kids have been unable to get health insurance. Make too much for obamacare subsidies... Too little to buy it full price, even through employers. Lower middle class.

I am so angry with GOP. John Cornyn voted TO FUND OBAMACARE. I will NOT vote for that jackass!

I know exactly what you are saying. Without going into personal detail, almost no one I know has insurance, and those who do are being bankrupted by it.

Yup, there’s a lot of people stuck in the middle depending on the State they live in. We’re in Missouri and they didn’t do the “enhanced medicaid/medicaire” thing. We make too much for free health insurance and paid insurance was either $11k deductible or cost 80% of our income. Stupid crazy.
