New health law frustrates many in middle class

Ginger Chapman and her husband, Doug, are sitting on the health care cliff.
The cheapest insurance plan they can find through the new federal marketplace in New Hampshire will cost their family of four about $1,000 a month, 12 percent of their annual income of around $100,000 and more than they have ever paid before.
Even more striking, for the Chapmans, is this fact: If they made just a few thousand dollars less a year — below $94,200 — their costs would be cut in half, because a family like theirs could qualify for federal subsidies.

And they will pay ... for nothing.
They will not get the docs they want,
the treatment they want, or when they need it.
In the end their deductibles will also take their home.

How can our government, which is already broke, afford to pay out “subsidies” for a family that makes $94k/year?
Are they going to hold a bake sale??

I’d guess based on their locale and income they might be Republicans.
If so, the law is working exactly as it was intended.
Reward friends and punish enemies.

Exactly, tell me they voted for McCain and Romney, and I will feel their pain, but if not, they you got what they deserved.

Now that was good-both funny and supremely true. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
