I am very happy for your daughter and the many, many others who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act.
Keep in mind we already pay for indigent care, medicaid and other social programs. This way, the person who CAN afford to pay "something" will now start to contribute. Insurance companies will have to be more competitive. It's a win-win!!
Did you all see that in the state of FL it will be more difficult to get information? The trained "navigators" will not be allowed to set up in county health facilities. The state has stated privacy as a concern, but I don't see why there would be any more privacy issues than you talking to your insurance agent....maybe, but only 13 states have a problem with it. Those who are internet savy can find everything they need on government web sites, but those who can't access the net may have to look harder to get correct info.
