Sticker Shock: Californians suddenly discover why all the Republican shouting over #Obamacare.

Meet Tom Waschura, Californian, father of two – oh, and right: Obama supporter. Just got a letter from his healthcare provider telling him that his private health insurance just went up by ten grand a year:

“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,” Waschura said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican charge to defund Obamacare.

“I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.”

Let me tell you a secret: we don’t need people like Mr. Waschura to love us. We just need people like him to vote their class interests, to quote the Marxists who unaccountably confidently expect this rotating disaster of a health care rationing system to fuel public outcry for socialized medicine. They don’t have to vote Republican forever, you know. We’ll be happy if they vote Republican just enough to allow the party to kill this thing. With that in mind, let me just be the first to assure Mr. Waschura that his hope that the rates will be adjusted down in a few years is only half-justified: left unchecked, they will be adjusted. Only upwards. The Democrats always expected and planned that Obamacare would be funded by raiding the incomes of as many people as possible; making the insurance companies the mechanism for jacking up premiums was the only way to get the insurance companies on-board.

As a Californian, I'm surprised (and gratified) that one of my fellow inmates who is not a Tea Partier correctly identified SoetoroCare as being the problem.

One down, 29,999,999 to go.

“We’ll be happy if they vote Republican just enough to allow the party to kill this thing.”

That’s an idiotic statement to make.

No, realize that you’ve been voting for people who intend to bring down this country at which point you will be a serf. And probably a disarmed serf. Vote for those who will protect our constitution (which means your rights & liberties).

If the average citizen doesn’t start to understand that simple concept, we’re going to keep doing this over & over again.

Tom Waschura, the ignorant useful idiot, could have noticed this tactic, it has been used thousands of times in the past, give crony business a cornered market and let 'em charge what they please.

It's called Fascism.

“I really don’t like the Republican tactics . . .”

Yeah, jerkweed Obama supporter - that’s what you get when you prefer tactics that include lies, demagoguery, back room deals, intimidation, and the rest of the Chicago machine playbook.

These Democrats have been crucifying Republicans with their words and actions, but now the rubber is about to meet the road.

When this thing starts stinging all of the working families and working Americans in a couple of years there is going to be such a scream that Democrat are going to have to go into hiding.

I mentioned to a Yellow dog democrat friend of mine yesterday that the IRS will have electronic access to his bank account and he said he never heard of such a thing. Told me I was wrong.

They have no idea what is coming down the line, they simply trust the a-holes they elected. They just assume the Tea Party is crazy. They believe Obama’s lies.

I’m waiting for senior citizens new to Medicare to find they will have a devil of a time finding a doctor or hospital that will now accept Medicare.

Don’t worry Mr Waschura, you don’t have to buy it.
You could pay a fine and go to Mexico for healthcare.
