I am writing you about the Obamacare and insurance crisis in this country. I know we all need health insurance the start of the New Year. There are many people that are for Obamacare but, more and more people are struggling to afford insurance.
I myself being one of the 15% of Americans that do not have insurance, I am only 20 years old and cannot afford to live on my own, being that both of my parents have passed let alone afford health coverage for myself especially when I would never use it. I live in Northern Michigan and I am Native American. I go to the tribal clinic for everything I need. No they don't have emergency coverage but I get a yearly appointment for free, as well and my dental, vision and prescription taken care of. I am an average healthy young adult, but yet I have to buy insurance when I am already going to the tribe for all the services that I currently get for free, but now I will have to pay for insurance for all of these services?.
Obamacare will not cost a cent they say? Obamacare is funded by the American taxpayer, which is majority of us. Right now there is over a trillion dollars proposed in the new budget for Obamacare. That is our taxpayer money. the Republicans supposibly willing to pass a budget that funds America with no tax increase if it were not for Obamacare. The Democrats want to increase the debt limit so they can pay for Obamacare to exist. Therefore, Obamacare will cost taxpayers at least a trillion dollars, which is 1/16th of the national debt. I have heard that Obamacare will add about $2,000 per person in annual additional debt and this does not count the out-of-pocket expense for medical care and co-pays paid by the consumer, nor does it count raising a family.
Bottom Line, nothing is free and Obamacare will put more of Americas people more in debt than we already are. Obama says poor people will be covered by Obamacare for free.
