This article keep getting better the more I read it.
Not only did the guy get health insurance for his prego wife but he was even able to opt out and go with a faith based program. I bet he doesn't even have to pay a penalty.
And so they dropped their new plan; they just stopped paying the premium.
They signed on to be in the midwife's care. Nick signed up for a nonprofit, Christian-oriented cost-sharing plan. The Robinsons will pay cash upfront and request reimbursement later.

Are you high, cwolff?
Are you missing the part where the wife said most of the 28 obstetricians on the list said they didn't accept their insurance and of the few that said they did either the hospital wouldn't accept the insurance or that they couldn't guarantee she would see the same doctor more than once?
The only way you can think this is a "pro" Obamacare story is if you're calling the couple liars but since you just gave me grief for even suggesting that's what you're doing I'm at a loss here now.
Except of course my initial assessment of the situation.
Are you missing the part where her insurance company said that they went down the same list and most of the DR's take her insurance?
You brought up the "can't get to know my Dr. thing" so I'm going with a midwife instead of ACA. Do you realize that she was 30 weeks along? What was she doing before that? Did she have no Dr., was she going to dump that Dr. for a new one? She quits paying for insurance and makes the choice to have her kid at home in a bathtub, even though her first two kids were C-sections? I don't know if that raises the risks of this pregnancy or not but she seemed to think so.
Your article has a shit load of holes in it.

So you're calling the couple liars? Come on dude, this isn't a "gotcha" moment. You either believe the couple or you believe the insurance company. Man up and say what you think already.
I thought my article proved how awesome Obamacare is? But now the article is shit and has a bunch of "wholes" in it? :/
I'm not calling them liars Tg. Don't be so fucking thick. Is that the only two options? Either they Lied about coverage or their coverage was shit? Those are TWO (2) options. Binary---again. Is there no other possibility?
I won't be surprised if they are exposed as liars though. It's interesting that these guys are Pastors in Tx who were incapable of getting "Obamacare" insurance to work for them so they had to go to their faith-based group.
Well let's ask the expert. Latrin, are there more than two options going on in this story? Either A) The couple is lying about their coverage or $) The insurance company is lying about the coverage? Is there a third option?
Gee, sure sounds like you're calling them liars.
This puts the story into a little different perspective.
At 30 weeks she would be lucky to find a doctor that would see her as a new patient. Did she not have any form of regular checkups in the first 75% of her pregnancy? She wants a “personal relationship” with a doctor that couldn’t possibly plan for any sort of eventuality after only seeing her for the final 5-10 weeks of her 40 week pregnancy? That is pushing it anywhere. She didn’t like the rotating doctor staff but neglects to realize after already having two children that the likelihood of actually getting the one doctor you’ve been seeing is 50/50 at best. Perhaps it’s a Texas thing but when people make these sorts of bad decisions in a place where the government does not like the working poor it makes me think the entire thing is made up. News Cut
