Obamacare - Answers

0:01 - 0:04Two years ago my son Caleb
began having seizures -
0:04 - 0:07and I have some questions about Obamacare.
-
0:07 - 0:11Hi Julie, my name is Dr. Sanjeev K. Sriram
and I've been a physician for 9 years. -
0:11 - 0:14and I'm happy to answer your questions.
-
0:14 - 0:19If we can't pick our own doctor how do I know
my family is going to get the care they need? -
0:19 - 0:20Good news Julie.
-
0:20 - 0:24You can still pick your own doctor.
Nothing in Obamacare says otherwise. -
0:24 - 0:31If you employer already has you covered
you probably won't notice any change at all
and that includes your choice of doctor. -
0:31 - 0:34And what am I getting in exchange for
higher premiums and a smaller paycheck? -
0:34 - 0:43Great question. First, thanks to Obamacare,
insurance companies will have to provide
coverage for pre-existing conditions. -
0:43 - 0:51and they can't drop you or even put a cap
on your coverage if you suddenly get seriously sick.
So coverage is better and more comprehensive, -
0:51 - 1:00and thanks to Obamacare, states are getting
resources they need to hold insurance companies
accountable when they try to get away
with hiking premiums. -
1:00 - 1:07Now insurance companies have to give consumers
refunds if they don't spend enough of your
premium dollar on health care. -
1:07 - 1:11Can I really trust the folks in Washington
with my family's health care? -
1:11 - 1:21As a doctor, the real question is can you trust
the insurance companies with your family's
health care without the affordable care act? -
1:21 - 1:27I know that before Obamacare,
insurance companies were charging women
twice as much as men for their coverage. -
1:27 - 1:32They were revoking coverage to cancer patients
after they got their diagnoses. -
1:32 - 1:37They were denying care to kids born
with epilepsy or heart murmurs. -
1:37 - 1:44In my practice I see Obamacare giving us
a lot more reason to trust that
insurance coverage will be more secure. -
1:44 - 1:47I think that we all deserve some answers.
-
1:47 - 1:48Yes we do Julie.
-
1:48 - 1:53And a great place to seek all your answers is HealthCare.gov
-
1:53 - 1:56No family should be bankrupted over medical bills
-
1:56 - 2:04and come October, millions of Americans
will finally get access to the quality
affordable health care they deserve.
