HEALTH: Insurance beyond his reach

I was just wondering how many people have actually signed up for Obama’s unaffordable health-care program and are happy with the costs. I am a single father who works very hard to make ends meet. I make about 30K a year and was doing pretty good. Then this health-care program gets passed and forces me to purchase so-called affordable health insurance.

To my surprise it is going to cost me more than $300 a month for bronze (the lowest level of coverage) level health care. This is without dental. If you add the lowest level of dental to it, it is over $100 more.

I do not see how this can be considered affordable. I barely make ends meet as it is, and cannot afford $300 to $400 in health-care insurance fees that we won’t even use. For example, my son and I paid a total of $0 for health-care costs in the last three years, and under Obama’s plan I will be charged $10,800+ for health insurance for the same time period. I do not see how this is affordable and helpful for my family.

This is just my experience with Obama’s health-care plan. I just wonder how many others are going to struggle to pay for their insurance now that it is mandatory by law.
