Today I chose to do my political research on a city in Arizona who may have been "forgotten" by Obamacare. This was mostly caused by national insurers holding back and co-op plans failing. This competition decline causes the prices to go up and causes less people being able to afford it, such as those in Pinal County located in Phoenix, Arizona. This healthcare plan problem is growing within this community, as fewer and fewer citizens can afford healthcare insurance. At one time there was a nonprofit co-op plan put in place for those in this community who could not afford healthcare, but that plan quickly unraveled leaving the citizens of Pinal County to make tough and risky decisions.
In the future this community has some serious conversations and decisions to be made regarding the issue of insurances of their citizens.
