As these expenditures have increased, families have tightened their belt in other areas\u2014with spending dropping on essentials such as food and clothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese numbers are very disturbing,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and healthcare trends expert. \u201cThe Affordable Care Act was supposed to offer healthcare savings for Americans across the board, but instead it seems that middle-class families have been the hardest hit by our unstable economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson says that many Americans are reporting that their premiums are now so high that they cannot afford to go to the doctor. \u201cWith Obamacare, Americans are now facing deductibles of $3,000 a year or more,\u201d he says. \u201cMeanwhile, other Americans are losing their insurance as companies are forced to shut down as a result of the Affordable Care Act\u2014not to mention, the amount of jobs that are going to be lost due to these company shutdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson continues, \u201cThe whole point of President Obama\u2019s plan was so that people would not have to choose between a doctor\u2019s visit and paying for groceries. But now, thanks to these high premiums, we are right back in that same situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Survey Reveals that Middle-Class Families Must Choose Healthcare Over Food, Clothes Healthcare trends expert discusses these disturbing findings Recent numbers show that middle-class families have increased their spending on healthcare by 25 percent since 2007.
