Paying absurd amounts for family coverage

by Michael Smida—Ohio

Last week I was able to change the mind of a man that was at first not interested in becoming a member of Working America. After proposing health care reform to the gentleman he became very interested in our organization, telling me that he pays $1,180 per month of provide coverage for his family.

He told me that even though he was able to afford this this amount, he still believed that it was absurd to pay this much to make sure that his family was covered. He then eagerly signed up to become a member, which shows me that even though some folks can afford health care, there is still a universal understanding that a great deal of changes need to be made for affordable health care in this country.
