If a millionaire like Santorum has to spend a good portion of his salary on uncovered health care necessities for a disabled son, what kind of a burden is paid for those who are not millionaires but middle or lower class Americans in that same situation? This sounds like a prime reason that the Affordable Care Act is important to Americans.
From what I know about the act, your point is well taken and certainly should be addressed, in my opinion, at the STATE level. Federal government has done nothing about LOWERING costs, simply using taxpayer money to pay for it AND the entire idea of the act was to save money but they never got to it.
