Heather Goldwater, 38, of South Carolina, is raising a new baby while running her own PR firm.
She said she received a letter last July from Cigna, her insurance company, that said the company would no longer offer her individual plan, and promised to send a letter by October offering a comparable option.
So far, she hasn't received anything.
"I'm completely overwhelmed with a six-month-old and a business,” said Goldwater. “The last thing I can do is spend hours poring over a website that isn't working, trying to wrap my head around this entire health care overhaul."
Goldwater said she supports the new law and is grateful for provisions helping folks like her with pre-existing conditions, but she worries she won’t be able to afford the new insurance, which is expected to cost more. "I'm jealous of people who have really good health insurance," she said. "It's people like me who are stuck in the middle who are going to get screwed."

Now ask your self why Megan didn't give us a clip of the second QUOTE from Obama she claimed existed?
Richard Helgren, a Lansing, Mich., retiree, said he was “irate” when he received a letter informing him that his wife Amy's $559 a month health plan was being changed because of the law.
The plan the insurer offered raised his deductible from $0 to $2,500, and the company gave him 17 days to decide.
The higher costs spooked him and his wife, who have painstakingly planned for their retirement years. "Every dollar we didn't plan for erodes our standard of living," Helgren said.
He said he never believed Obama’s promise that people would be able to keep their current plans.
"I heard him only about a thousand times," he said. "I didn't believe him when he said it though because there was just no way that was going to happen."

Desh, even Jarod thinks you are full of shit on this. But, in your deluded mind you are the only one that is right.
Obama repeatedly promised that people would not lose their existing coverage as a result of his health-care plan.
Millions of Americans are facing exactly that prospect right now.

Deshy, before you get your ass handed to you, I want to be crystal clear on what you are claiming. Are you claiming that there was NO provision for grand fathering of old plans? Is that what you are saying?
