I received an email from a client who got covered as of January 1, 2015. Donna has been self-employed for many years and didn’t think she could afford health insurance.
Because of Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act), Donna got coverage for $38 per month. She doesn’t have any major health problems, but sometimes it’s the little things in life that make a big difference. Here is what she emailed to me.
Just thought I would let you know a nice thing that happened. You hear a lot of complaints so I thought I would tell you something nice.
I have had horrible cracking skin and tried everything. I looked at a flyer Meritus sent me about MeMD. I registered online and within minutes someone called me on the phone about my skin problem and said that within 10-20 minutes a doc would call me.
A nice female doc called and we chatted briefly. She prescribed some cream. I went and picked it up at the pharmacy, it was two hundred bucks, but with my new insurance it was $5.00.
The whole ordeal took maybe two hours. I was so pleased to know that it did not wipe out my small savings as it would have before.
Thanks, Denise for all your help and kindness to all those who seek your knowledge. Have a great day! Donna P.
It seems like the only news I read about Obamacare is bad news, so it’s nice to be able to share a good news Obamacare story.
