Pittsburgh Woman finds Good deal with the ACA???

Gail Roach says "Be patient". A happy story that needs to be shared.

http://www.wtae.com/news/local/allegheny/pittsburgh-woman-finds-incredible-deal-with-affordable-care-act/-/10927008/22698256/-/l53xqa/-/index.html

Roach, 57, said she found plenty, and suddenly she realized she would have the opportunity to walk away from her retirement health care package that required her to pay $509 a month for her premium.

Roach has Type 2 diabetes, which drove up her costs. However, through the Affordable Care Act, she found a policy offering a monthly premium at only $70.

After cashing in on a tax credit and taking advantage of a feature called the Cost Sharing Benefit, Roach saw her premium drop to a measly $1.11 a month.

With all the trashing that has been happening by the media and the wing-nuts I just wanted to post something positive.

Well, we know what happens when something is done with only good intentions.
