I'm now retired from healthcare and on Obamacare. I love it. It's affordable insurance, it covers well and prior to this I had been in a Cobra junk policy that covered nothing and had a $20,000 deductible.... for the low, low cost of $750/month. My Marketplace insurance covers mental health very well. It's a Godsend.

Hang in there everybody. Good things are coming. I can't post a link here yet but I found a great article on the effects of the Affordable Care Act on mental health and it's heartwarming. Google this:

ACA Opens Doors For Bold New Ideas In Mental Health Treatment

Peace
The headaches continue. Despite the innovations, I have that junk policy that covers nothing - over $1000 a month and a $7500 deductible per individual - so despite wanting to hang in there, I'm stuggling massively to fund a way to hang on. Can't afford to cover 25 employees...for me, it's a mess. Be grateful that you are in the "was small business" rather than in small business.
