ObamaCare Actually Forcing Family to Choose Between Health Care and Food

It’s been clear that ObamaCare will only lead to skyrocketing premiums, lost work hours and less health care choices, while failing to reduce healthcare costs for millions of Americans.

Now, as the ObamaCare train wreck truly begins and the White House begins the health law’s glitch-filled implementation, one Pennsylvania family is reporting that ObamaCare’s costs are forcing them to choose between the law’s “affordable” health care and putting food on the table.

From the Weekly Standard:

“An Allentown, Pennsylvania TV station reports that, because of Obamacare, one mother is forced to choose between a ‘new health plan or putting food on the table’:

“‘One mother tells us the choice for her has come down to selecting a new health plan or putting food on the table,’ reporter Will Lewis says.

“‘A small group of people bound together by the need for health insurance, all say they are the people that the Affordable Care Act is not helping.’

“‘I feel it’s important for people to understand that the premiums aren’t affordable,’ says Jennifer Most, a mother, who ‘told the crowd she went to the government website with all intentions of signing up … Jennifer and her husband are disabled, on a fixed income, and their five year old has a few medical problems as well,’ the reporter explains.

“The woman says, ‘My premium for health insurance was $947.63.’

“‘That is a over 765 dollars more than she currently pays,’ says the reporter.

“‘It would take food out of our mouths to be able to afford these coverages,’ the mother explains.
