"The Affordable Care Act is leaving my children uninsured as of January"

[Curmudgeoness]

13. I have seen several of this type of story

and they have pushed the bullshit so far that it is impossible to believe. It is especially unbelievable when you see that they have a child with a pre-existing condition that needs constant care and meds. Also, note that they say the child needed monthly visits to a therapist. Policies had always had minimal coverage for mental health prior to ACA.

There is no way that a family of 4 has better coverage than they say they are now offered for $380 a month. With dental. Not possible.

Also, it might be true that the insurance company offered a plan to them, but that is not their only option. I have heard of many insurance companies cancelling policies and offering policies outside of the website offering, but that is not the best option. I did not go to the article, so I don't know if they ever signed up on the website, but if they really are in dire straits over the offered premium, they should get a subsidy.

And what does she mean by the quoted premium "included the ACA tax"? There is no ACA tax on premiums.

I call bullshit.
