Today I want to share the story of Peter and Esther. Peter and Esther are retired and living in Orange County, California. They're on a limited income, and their health insurance costs are overwhelming. They pay over 18,000 every year just in health care premiums. And next year, their costs are going up to over $21,000. When you're retired and living on a fixed income, that kind of cost increase can be devastating. Peter has been trying to get his wife Esther, on Medicaid so she can get the care she deserves without going bankrupt. (16:11–16:23)
