ObamaCare 'Success' Story Finds Affordable Care Unaffordable
Investor's Business Daily ^ | November 19, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Debacle: The woman who got a shoutout from President Obama last month for her fan letter for ObamaCare finds out her exchange quote was a computer mistake and she doesn't qualify for a tax credit after all.

In one of his famous photo-ops in the Rose Garden last Oct. 21, with an array of touted beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act behind him, President Obama read a letter from Jessica Sanford of Federal Way, Wash., to explain why the Affordable Care Act, with all its rollout flaws, was still needed.

The letter told a sad tale of a grateful single mom with a son that had ADHD.

But now, like so many of ObamaCare's false promises and outright lies, the safe and secure future which Sanford thought she had found and which the president boasted of has crumbled into dust — just like that health care Potemkin village called the Affordable Care Act.

As the Washington State Wire reports, the Washington state exchange and enrollment website, like its national cousin, had problems. It had told Sanford originally she and her child would get a whopping tax credit that would reduce her total premium to $169 a month for an ObamaCare "gold" plan.

Another swing and a miss for Obama. And you can add one more with his non-citizen Obamacare PosterGirl.

Take a look at this link: Obamacare model from health care website felt bullied by critics

And especially this paragraph:

"Adriana, who is from Colombia, says in the interview broadcast Wednesday that reaction to the website amounted to "some form of bullying."

From the link you posted:

Many scoffers suggested the model was an illegal alien, but though she is not an American citizen, the woman is currently a permanent resident and is applying for citizenship.

Too rich.

I bet she's hoping the same people that designed the 0care website weren't also responsible for the site that handles citizenship applications.

Bullying has become a very overused word in a very short amount of time.
My prescription: Get over it.

That's a good definition given the way the word is applied nowadays.
