A Thursday Huffington Post article highlighting Obamacare victims is causing quite a stir on the left.
The piece, titled "How Obamacare Leaves Some People Without Doctors," breaks from the Huffington Post's usual embrace of Obamacare and features the voices of Covered California customers who are already dissatisfied with the health insurance they bought through the Covered California exchange.
"My insurance is pretty useless," 35-year-old new Los Angeles mother Ruth Iorio told HuffPo. "I don't know what to do. I may just drop it for myself and keep my son on it. It's really depressing."
Iorio says her Obamacare plan is worthless because after over a dozen calls, she still cannot find doctors who accept her Obamacare plan who are also practicing in a hospital that accepts her coverage. Prior to buying through the California Obamacare exchange Iorio had an individual Blue Shield plan that cost less and covered a wide array of doctors and hospitals. Iorio's plan is so bad that after giving birth to her son she learned her Obamacare plan did not cover her UCLA ob-gyn, forcing her to pay out of pocket.
"I'm paying $500 a month and every doctor I'm calling is saying, 'No, I can't see you,'" said Iorio.

Time to reconsider the ban on HuffPost? They have some damn good articles. Pity they can’t be posted here.
They’re in cognitive dissonance. But it goes to show even liberals don’t want to be exposed to real world facts which demonstrate that if Obamacare is bad, single payer would make the problem in all likelihood far worse.
They let it stay up because the stories they are telling are examples of where the law isn’t doing enough, not that it was the wrong law to begin with...
That’s when doctors should collectively go on strike. They are not slaves and when people start to die from lack of care perhaps they will learn to respect their peers.
I hope that the perps of the ACA will pay dearly for their “mistake”. When that happens, Justice will truly be done. The Koch brothers, demons of the collectivists, have done nothing like it to ruin so many peoples’ lives.
Obamacare is working exactly as the Rats want it. Their “solution” will be to totally socialize medicine with the government in charge of everything. As if that will do anything but make it worse.
Obamacare punishes the poor who cannot afford overpriced, worthless insurance.
I guess he heard you. And agreed.
He just posted a Huff Post article.
