When pressed on the negative impact Obamacare is having on average folks, Democrats choose to focus on those who are being helped by the healthcare law.
But conservative pundit and authorAnn Coulter highlighted just how devastating the impact can be in a recent appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
“This does have real world consequences: I got up the other morning and got an email from a friend saying, ‘My sister almost died because of Obamacare,’” Coulter told host Tucker Carlson.
Coulter said the friend’s sister lost her coverage when Blue Shield pulled out of California because of Obamacare. Despite running a fever, the woman did not go to the emergency room because she had no insurance, until she went into septic shock.
As Coulter explained, her friend later called to say her sister passed away over the weekend.
“That is completely shocking,” Carlson said.
“But it isn’t,” Coulter replied. “It’s expected. We knew this would happen. It’s a horrible story, and people need to know about these stories. I emailed her and asked her if I could tweet this, and she said, ‘Julie would be very happy for you to tweet this.’”
The best-selling author took to Twitter to further draw attention to the negative impact of Obamacare, and supporters were quick to weigh in with their thoughts on the matter:

Didn’t she support the founder of Obamacare for president?
Ann can expect Dingy Harry to start attacking her and calling her a liar in ...5...4...3...2....
Dupe. As you know, this is old news and was posted months ago.
Coulter STILL supports the father of ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE,
Willard Romney.
Even with this, one bets she will
still her push Romney for 2016.
Like Coulter....this is useless old, old news.
Died, or almost died?
Eat something, Ann!
My Canadian Health Care is starting to look a lot better lately.
Not a Canada ping.
Not voting for Romney brought us into this huge mess.
He was the chance we had to oust Obama. Some folks preferred Obama and stayed home . They deserve the applause or blame.
They will most likely do it again in 2016
And? Some of us didn't see it months ago.
Exactly so.
Read the article!
You are on too many drugs.
Romney the RAT, and sponsor of surrogates
who attacked both Gov. Palin and the Speaker,
DID NOT WANT TO BE PRESIDENT.
Romney the RAT put Obama into OFFice, himself, twice.
If Romney the RAT did not exist, Obama NEVER
would have been pRes_ _ent, and there would
have been neither gay marriage, polygamy, or ObamaCARE.
So? Are we to post more old news articles from months ago because you weren’t here? Or maybe perhaps you can make a few clicks and read all the old news you want.
says her first notice was "the other morning and got an email from a friend saying, ‘My sister almost died because of Obamacare,’”
the next notice was:"Coulter explained, her friend later called to say her sister passed away over the weekend."
Need a cup of coffee to see/read better? :)
O’bummerCare uses that as an excuse - but the 30,000 pages and counting behemoth has a lot less to do with health insurance than the total control/tracking of our every move.
Health care was the excuse...people not understanding this is a great help to them
So she got insurance as soon as she went into septic shock?
Pretty steep qualification requirement.
a bit snarky, aren’t we?
