Thanks to 0Care your Gold plan has just become an Aluminum plan - at a 100% premium increase.

Not only did they cancel my plan but they diagnosed me as mentally ill* all in one fell swoop. Woe is me.

That's what it says in the online Obamacare e-chart.

The healthcare of one's family is now a political weapon to be used on the same, by the government. The consequences are just as deadly as a gun, and strike fear into those as a peer group associated with the target.

Maybe someone smart like Joe Biden can explain what happened?

The subsequent tweets of policy cancellations/increases/0Care-or-bust are incredible. I imagine tweets will continue as word of this Reps original tweet spread.

Gee, Thanks 0bammy Voters!

The day after the 2014 elections, Traybama will send McCain on TV to announce “Single Payer” healthcare is replacing Obamacare.

Obamacare ‘collapsed’ a bit ahead of schedule, so they must tap dance for another 6 months until election season kicks in.

Till then, I’m sure George Midgetopoulos can keep the plates spinning.

Wait til they see that their wonderful policies will no longer be available (after Dec 31, 2013) and they're being forced into *Marketplace Exchanges!*, or their Medicare becomes Medicaid.

See how *great* they all think it is, then.

Don’t expect any rebuts from the ones that stand in long lines to buy electronics and sporting event tickets.

there are two kinds of Obama voters. the first kind doesn’t work... welfare, disability, endless unemployment. they will get it free, period
the second type who work, will feel it. here’s the problem. they are more than happy to sacrifice because its their part in the transforming of America.

And the liberal talking heads are trying really hard to ignore the elephant turd in the bathtub.

>> His plan is going from $650 to $1480.

$1480 for family is the current market cost give or take $250 when not part of a large group.

Health insurance will be the equivalent of a mortgage payment, and the vote for Obama will prove to be a painful lesson for many.
