ObamaCare Supporters Starting to Sound Like Abuse Victims
Frontpage Mag ^ | February 11, 2015 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 02/12/2015 12:05:48 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

As much as I hate these people, on some level I’m starting to feel sorry for them. They remind me of Communists in the Gulags who still think Stalin cares about them. Or abuse victims who keep defending their abuser.

The latest comes from the New York Times.

Does anyone know if the low income enrollees who are subsidized 100% pay any co-pay or deductibles?

The welfare of the people doesn’t matter to Rats as long as they keep voting for Rats.

People leave out the aspect that these people’s very righteousness, and therefore their very belief in their salvation,
rides on their belief that they are “a good person”
for supporting leaders who “want to help people”.

THIS is why, no matter how much their cult leaders’ policies fail to help, or actually cause harm,

they will NEVER give up their support of them.

If they don’t pay deductibles, they have an awful sweet deal... totally insured. No one else, rich or not-so-rich gets that. Maybe illegal aliens do, at the emergency room.

Yes, that is why they must be defeated!

“But of course the comments are full of Single Payer advocacy, because apparently it’ll be better when everyone is waiting 2 months to get an x-ray.”

Ha! They think you’ll be able to get treatments in 2 months!

Here’s a definitive report on wait-listing in Canada’s health-care system:

Wait lists are the most common form of government health-care rationing — and you can’t have “free” health care without rationing. You just can’t.

I think that they DO pay co-pays and deductibles (or, have to pay/be liable for those charges if they see providers). The subsidies just pay the premiums, I believe.

Medicaid patients get that deal. And there are nearly 10 million more of them since Obamacare set us on the ever tightening downward spiral.

On NO level, do I feel any sympathy for those who have supported and brought us 0bamacare, and are now whining about the consequences.

I don’t give a rat’s azz about any of them.

We’re all born equal in life. What you chose to do with that is on you and nobody else.

“Keeping my old plan means a premium increase for next year of $2400 per year, more than $65% above the current monthly cost, but the options on the exchange are no better.”

You idiot. You are willing to pay $200 more per month to support a failed idea and policy?

You can buy quite a bit of medical for the $6,000 per year you are shelling out and that doesn’t include all the ridiculous out of pocket monies you are already shelling out.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid....

It is one thing to defend your abuser!

It is something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to try and FORCE me to let your abuser abuse me also!

My sister was telling me today about her friend who is way cheap who voted for obama twice. He was complaining about the high cost of the obamacare insurance. He had “normal” insurance at his last full time job (can only get part time work now) but hated paying the small $15 to $20 deductible.... now the deductible is in the several thousands!!

My parents are hopeless lib Obama lovers. They would be the first in the gas chambers if Obama ordered it because Obama can do no wrong. He is the perfect human being. He has saved the nation and redeemed our souls. Life would be perfect if it weren’t for evil republicans and Christianity. Somehow I made it.

Both my wife and I have noticed at our primary care docs things are far less busy the last 18 months or so.

I suspect the ginormous deductibles have made folks much less prone to doctor visits.

I've gotten on some other discussion boards and Facebook chats where people claim to have the best insurance in the world thanks to Obama; something they were never able to get before because of income and preexisting condition.

When I ask them if they make co-pay or what their deductible is, they can't (or don't want to) answer.
