I had great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now I worry how long I'll live.
Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers.
My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31.
My choice is to get coverage through the government health exchange and lose access to my cancer doctors, or pay much more for insurance outside the exchange (the quotes average 40% to 50% more) for the privilege of starting over with an unfamiliar insurance company and impaired benefits.

Obamacare is purposely designed to bankrupt the middle class. This has nothing to do with healthcare.
My DR retired at the end of 2011 because he saw this coming
LOL. Still a lot of fools voted for this clown.
DO NOT go to the Gov website! It will be open to hackers the next six months, said the Dems! Ask the area doctors if any of them are going to a cash monthly system and sign up there, and pay the fines as they come. It will be cheaper than paying all the government mandated overhead.
