Sorry this is so untrue. Of the people I know and talk to around town those that were very sick had their private healthcare cancelled by their insurance companies. Were forced into Obama care . And since they can no longer pay the premiums which rise every year they are forgoing insurance and would rather pay the penalty. And not talking of mental health issures. Talking of people with heart disease and cancer. And as far as employers paying for insurance many now hire people, with the incentive of working 90 days first and when the 90 days is up they get laid off. And the others the lower income. So many that I know that live in doublewides since living in country now are without insurance. I am lucky to own a new real house on a .65 acre of land. This area is just being built up as land is disappearing. But even more lucky to have Medicare & supplemental USAA as husband's Dad was in the Military. All illness is not psychiatric? Don't you know anyone who mentally is fine but has cancer? So many die of cancer and have the funds to pay cash for treatment. And in NC alone 3 out of the 5 companies that provided the ACA have pulled out. United Healthcare is just one of them. Phillipa
