The pain of Obamacare: Erin’s story

Published on Tuesday, July 25, 2017

These are the words of Erin, a small business owner from Kenosha, who has lost her doctor and insurance plan as a result of Obamacare. In the last few years she has also seen her out-of-pocket costs increase dramatically.

Erin shared her story last week with Jerry Bader. Sadly, her story is one that is all too familiar.

​As she says,”our family plan went from $900 a month to $1,100 a month and we no longer have it because it was going to $1,500 a month. We try to do good by our employees and pay them well and offer them health insurance because they needed it. The cost for our health insurance and our employees insurance; that affects our bottom line. That affects raises and reinvestment in our business and the rates we can pay back our loans.”

To hear the rest of her story listen to this interview on the Jerry Bader Show or read about it on Media Trackers.
