This Dallas Family Signed Up For ObamaCare. What They Got Was A Major Disappointment

May 29, 2014

After learning he and his wife were expecting a child, Nick Robinson decided to register for ObamaCare because he researched that twenty-eight obstetricians accepted the healthcare plan in his Dallas area.

Unfortunately, when Rachel called the many options, she found that either the practices or the hospitals did not accept ObamaCare and a few of the places would not guarantee the same doctor every visit. This prohibited the Robinsons from establishing the relationship with a doctor that they desperately wanted. With a baby on the way and no time to solve the confusion, the Robinsons decided to use a midwife, and dropped their useless ObamaCare plan entirely.

The Robinsons were put through a needlessly difficult ordeal, one that thoroughly soured their originally positive view of ObamaCare. American families like theirs deserve better, and the path to a more efficient and consumer-oriented system of healthcare starts with the election of Republican leaders this November who are committed to repealing ObamaCare.

From NPR:

“It was mind-numbing,” she says, “because I was just sitting there thinking: I’m paying close to $400 a month just for me to have insurance that doesn’t even work. So what am I paying for?”

“How could this not be working?” he says. “The United States government has set this up. It’s this whole big deal; there are commercials everywhere saying we need to use this. And they’re just saying, ‘No, no, no,’ and that just made me so mad.”
