Obamacare brings expanded coverage and higher costs to California

Obamacare brings expanded coverage and higher costs to California 

Although Obamacare has been spread to help everyone's health care, it has also raised the prices high. The healthcare program that is suppose to help low income families is causing the new high costs to the State of California. According to Jerry Brown's administration 11.5 million of California's population will be enrolled in Obamacare. The administration officials estimates were 1.2 million more than originally planned. Apparently what California had planned to spend for Obamacare was way much more then what they could have possibly imagined. The federal government became responsible for the people that were eligible however they are also responsible for half the price of the people that didn't sign up. Although people are excited for how much Obamacare was a success they fear doctors who participate in Medical will cut down their payments. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how much the State of California spends as long as people have a good health insurance. Hopefully all this issue will get fixed and the doctors salary won't have to decrease.
