“I worked with a woman who had to come in three times because of glitches, and by the third try, she was very frustrated and unhappy. When it finally worked and she was going to have health insurance, she started to sob and explained; ‘I just never thought I could have insurance that great.’ Everything was worth it for that moment right there.”

When it finally worked and she was going to have health insurance, she started to sob and explained; ‘I just never thought I could have insurance that great.’ Everything was worth it for that moment right there.”

  • “[Borgess] is getting coverage for people who before had no coverage and [Borgess] get[s] the Medicaid reimbursement for them. We are also seeing another group of people who have high out of pockets, who in the past their employers covered most of that, but now they don’t have the means to cover it so we have to provide them care. So it is kind of a ying and a yang. That’s the way I would describe the ACA in terms of our experiences: ying and yang.”
