14. Our Niece Died Because ACA in Georgia Was Too Expensive

Dec 2016

Our 54 year old niece died last year. She lived in George and the deductible for her ACA was very high. She put off going to the doctor for that nasty cough and her lung cancer was very advanced by the time she did go to the ER. We tried to get her to go earlier, but the copay was a deterant.
This is one tragedy out of many.
