On today's Your Call we’ll talk about the implementation of Obamacare. President Obama gave the clear message that Americans who were happy with their health plans could keep them. But now millions of people are receiving letters of cancelation from their providers, because their plans don’t meet the ACA requirements. So what has been your experience with health coverage?
