It's just not clear if the woman was harmed by the ACA or the insurance co she CHOSE. That's all the LA Times article pointed out. You clowns will, of course, blame Obamacare - but the insurance companies set their own formularies for drugs - I know this personally.

But when interviewed she explained her problem clearly: Yes, the total out of pocket in a year is the same but my old policy allowed me to pay that monthly while this new policy hits me with it all at the beginning of the year, Except for the fact that providers will work out a payment plan for you, good point. And they will Last year, I had a lithotripsy for a kidney stone and later the same week I slipped in the bathroom, fell and broke my arm. Between my deductible and my 20% I hit my out of pocket max. all at once. Which I didn't have, but I could pay it off monthly. Which I did. So even her explanation doesn't hold water.
