How do copays affect the decisions you or your family make about your healthcare and your budget? Yes it means less money right now for other things like bills, non food items like toilet paper, laundry detergent, cleaning products

Is there anything else you’d like us to know? This whole new policy or whatever it is, is very confusing. As a parent of a now 18 year old autistic son and another son that is just 6, I don’t know what’s expected of me really. Do I have to get a job. With those two, I don’t really have the time.

Please tell us how some or all of these changes affect you, your family, or your community. These changes are at best difficult for us to implement. My husband works long hours l, and I primarily take and pick up our boys from school. The school is about 30 minutes away. If I had to work to it would have to be a job that is during school hours. That’s is difficult to do too. Plus the time I need helping our youngest with homework and getting supper ready. 9 pm is our youngest child bedtime, and it’s hard now with not working to to all of this. They both have plenty of doctors appts as well. I just dont have the EXTRA time. Lastly, my oldest is a high functioning autistic, and needs me often as he is closest to me. Austin kids will generally cling to 1 person over others even the other parent.
