All I know is the new law has screwed our family. My mom's work offers insurance so because of the tax penalties she had to sign up. She was just barely scraping by before now she's sunk paying for insurance. Every month something is on disconnect because she just can't afford the insurance but doesn't qualify for any help.
My brother was on a state run program that was need based. They discontinued the program when the new law went into effect. As of right now my brother still doesn't have insurance and can't afford one of his inhalers he needs. We are constantly having to take him the the ER so he can get breathing treatments. He's tried several websites all to no avail. He has been in to more appointments and called so many people it's like a full time job for him but still hasn't found anywhere he fits in the new system so he can get help.
I personally know at least 20 people in the same boat as my mom or brother. You are actually the first person I have gotten to talk to that the new law has helped. Please do not feel ashamed. Be proud for once the system actually worked how it is supposed to work
