When U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Col.) got the word that he could opt out of Obamacare or keep his current health-care plan — which you might be surprised to learn is a private plan — he took a road some might say is less traveled…and then hit a big pileup:

Instead of heading down a woe-is-me path, Gardner harnessed his unfortunate news to get a conversation going about what’s happening to people’s health-care plans in the wake of

Some of the senators should get together and hold contests where they give away their health benefit offset check to a needy citizen. This would really get it into the news and embarrass the rest of the gov’t elite.

I hope someone informs the Senate. Maybe the GOP-e will get a clue.

No no no.
I am not saying that at all, and no that is not going to happen.
But, the Federal Government is using the offices of Medicare and Medicaid, and the SAME employees of said agencies, to train and enforce the rules on those involved with Obamacare.

I will be staying eligible for my work insurance and I guess my spouses coverage in my group plan but when I retire next year I guess I will have to buy my wife an expensive individual plan for two years until she reaches 65.

I expect it will be like a Lexus payment.

I love it.

God bless him. And may the news of this and the consequences he has suffered, as well as that for for all of us be spread abroad.

I am so afraid of the new plan. Is there a thread or series of threads about dealing with it in our personal lives?

[Sequoyah101]

Oh I hope so. I hope it is a painful lesson but I’m so jaded I think the obamabots will spin it to convince the sheeple all is well and they will be too stupid to know the difference. The takers will never know the difference. Never. Their way is paid. Their coast is clear.

Yes, it is a mortgage payment.

I just hope it is more painful for most than it is for me. This and the intentional destruction of the United States with malice has had my attention for a long time now. It is time many more were as afraid as I have been for a long time.

With malice indeed.
