I'm quitting my job. Thanks Obamacare! (CNN/Yahoo Propaganda)
Yahoo/CNN ^ | 02/25/14 | Tami Luhby

Now that Karen Willmus can get health insurance through Obamacare, she plans to quit teaching 9th grade English at the end of the school year.

The 51-year-old found policies on the Colorado state exchange for about $300 a month. That's less than what she's paying now for employer-sponsored coverage and less than half what she paid on the individual market in 2007.

She’s 51?????

Hell, I just turned 50.

I must be not be living right.

Ain’t no one accusing me of even looking over 40.

I’m still getting guesses of mid 30’s.

Then again, I did go to the Laz school of charm and handsomeness....

LOL

Agree on the creepy. Maybe just a goofy kids grin.
No mention of the sperm donor in article.

OK...so I'm quitting my job because my health costs will be lower!!!! Ummmmm...did anyone stop and think about generating revenue to PAY for the lower health care (and food, lights, heat, etc)?

I'm sure all of this appeals to the Democratic viewers who have an IQ of a potato.

She is dumber than hell.

She doesn’t pass the 5 minute advantage God gave her.

What a waste...

I’d bet that’s a safe guess on your part. I’ll bet she has at least 30 years in and a sweet pension. Good for her, but how about we check to see how this propagandist is doing 2 years from now.

Also, as another poster mentioned, out of millions of possibilities a few are going to win the Obamacare lotto. The other suckers will be pouring their life savings into a declining return.

How long before the kid realizes she has just been signed up as an unpaid employee for a venture that likely has no chance to make a profit?

LOL.. I’m 47. So I’m about her age. And my mother who’s 71 looks younger than her.

The article may have been disappeared. Laura Ingraham’s twitter link is dead as well. Very obedient of yahoo to scrub it because of anti-Obamacare comments. They’re a very good media lapdog.

She may be happy.

With Mom enlisting in the Entitlement Army, she’ll soon be eligible for massive college financial aid. Not to mention free lunch and textbooks at her current school.

“Publishing materials for non-native English speakers and others looking to improve their literacy.”

You’ll read that story, but it won’t read like you think. She’ll be a victim of gender discrimination, she’s in hiding because the Koch Bros put out a hit on her, and without her Obamacare and food stamps she’d starve.

Just damn...I thought I was jaded. lol

And she'll likely get her two minutes of fame on the Rachel Maddow show...if MSNBC is still around.
