*SEE UPDATE BELOW* This is the story of a North Carolina mother of three sons, two of whom have a rare bone marrow failure syndrome called Shwachman-Diamond syndrome combined with a secondary mitochondrial disease. Pattie says that she has witnessed her family's insurance coverage slip away as premiums, deductibles, and medication co-pays have drastically increased with the implementation of mandates contained within the Affordable Care Act. Pattie has now been notified that her sons' life-saving compounded medications will be dropped from coverage altogether as of September 15, though her family's medications and treatments were covered with no denials for years prior to 2011. Pattie fears that her family may soon lose their employer-provided health insurance completely, forcing them onto Obamacare exchanges under which they would be denied access to their current specialists. Having read the Affordable Care Act legislation prior to its passage, Pattie says that it was evident that the mandates would generate exactly the detrimental impacts that she is now experiencing. She asserts that the ultimate goal of the legislators who adopted the Affordable Care Act was the extinction of private health insurance companies, giving rise to a single-payer system of substandard healthcare.

*UPDATE* 09/11/2014: So many viewers have reached out to inquire about where they can go to send a contribution to Pattie's family. Pattie has continuously stated that this is a long-term problem and the best way to help her is to "stand up against the tyranny that is Obamacare. Get involved, contact your legislators and stand up with us." However a few of Pattie's friends, aware of the fact that having the funds to purchase medications would help their family in the interim, have now set up a website with a donation button linked to Pattie's paypal account in case any kind soul feels driven to help their family deal with the burden that Obamacare mandates have placed upon them. The website by which to send a contribution to Pattie's family is: http://obamacaredefensefu...
