A local news station brings viewers inside one Pennsylvania company as the employees their learn about their new health care plans under Obamacare:

"Look at the numbers," says the reporter of two employees. "Jeff and Dave used to have a $1,250 deductible. Since Obamacare went into effect, it's now jumped 60 percent to $2,000. That's nothing compared to Brian, Kristi, and Judy who have kids. They are going to pay twice that, four grand." The reporter adds that co-pays are being increased, too.

Excellent video series, with one exception - I can’t help but think that, given all of the cameras in the room filming them, the employees were already briefed on the changes before filming.

Would be interesting to see how many of these folks voted for Obama.

Come on now, he didn’t get in office on his own.

I would be curious; how many of those employees voted for Hussein only to now realize they did this to themselves.

So instead of the GOP focusing on ObamaCare like a laser, they are going to piss us off with an unwanted immigration bill.

FU Ryan, Boehner, and Cantor.
