Did you notice the funds in your checking account seem to be coming up short this month?
Sure, the depleted checking account might be the result of overzealous Christmas shopping, but in my case, and for many of you that I talked to, shortages of $250 to $500 seem to be the norm due to the new premiums of the unaffordable health care act.
I know ISIS and immigration are the hot topics of the presidential debates as they probably should be.  However, when you consider maybe only one of the candidates from either party actual pays for their own health care, that might explain why they’re not talking about it.
Here are the phone numbers and email addresses for our elected officials. I would strongly urge you to call them and let them know the new unaffordable health care act is breaking the financial back of middle America.
Let me know if you have any luck contacting these folks and if they respond in any way.
