Just "wow" on the nonsense you have to put up with, tax-wise, with your household. That needs to be fixed, too.
You got a discount for having your ACL done with insurance. That's great. My insurance company approved payment for my operation to the hospital, then 6 months later decided not to pay. I had to pay "full price", no discounts, out of pocket. That practice is now illegal with the ACA. For you and I, and your partner. Thank god.

There are good parts and bad parts to the heath reform, the good is obvious, the bad to me is the federal government forcing people to buy a product or pay a fine. Its not right. I see alot of people refusing to buy or pay the fine on principle alone which I support. They, the feds, in my opinon have overstepped what Ill feel comfortable with as far as the government is concerned. We the people should be able to decide if we want to participate in the program or not. It is opening up a whole new can worms when it comes to laws taxes and fines and what the feds can do with their power.
