Widows Are Losing Their Health Insurance in Alabama Thanks To ObamaCare

Widows who are already coping with the loss of their husbands are now finding out that ObamaCare is making their lives more difficult.

In Alabama, widows of retired Madison County employees have lost their health insurance because of ObamaCare’s excessive costs and regulations.

The healthcare bill had regulations that would cost the county $25 million dollars. Madison County could not afford both the program to keep widows insured while implementing ObamaCare.

When will Democrats realize ObamaCare is causing more pain and insecurity for those who have already lost so much?

From the Weekly Standard:

“More than two dozen widows who were married to retired Madison county employees, lost their health insurance coverage earlier this year. And now one commissioner says it’s time to give it back to them. The change was sparked by the new federal health care law, but whether or not coverage can actually be restored really isn’t clear,” said the anchor.

Says the reporter, “Madison county commissioner Roger Jones says no one realized just how much the new federal health care law would change things, especially for the spouses of some of his former employees.” 

“A lot of these people are on fixed incomes, low fixed incomes. Some of them are living on Social Security and very little else and health insurance is very important to them,” says the county commissioner.
