      How health care law affects lives of 7 Americans

      March 20, 2012 · Posted in #Health News · Comment 

      FILE - In this file photo taken Jan. 20, 2011, Glenn Nishimura discusses his health insurance situation at a coffee shop in Little Rock, Ark. As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, The Associated Press spoke with a variety of people to hear their experiences so far with the landmark legislation, whose major provisions don’t take effect until 2014. Reporters asked: How has the health care law affected your life? Nishimura has been uninsured for nearly three years. He lost his health coverage after he left a full-time position with benefits in 2007, thinking he could land another good job. The recession destroyed that plan. He’s been denied coverage because of high blood pressure and high blood-sugar levels. A provision in the national health care law gave his state  million to insure people like him who've been denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. But Nishimura said he can’t afford the coverage. It would cost him about ,300 a year in premiums with a ,000 deductible, meaning he would pay the first ,000 out of his own pocket before coverage kicks in. (AP Photo/Danny Johnston, File)A father lost his job at a medical device company that is facing a new tax. A young woman got back on her parents’ insurance and was able to get surgery for an injury that could have hobbled her. A part-time sales woman stopped putting off a colonoscopy and cancer screenings and saved nearly ,000 because health plans now must pay for preventive care without co-pays. A business owner received a tax rebate for providing health coverage to her employees.
