Sticker Shock: Californians suddenly discover why all the Republican shouting over #Obamacare.

Meet Tom Waschura, Californian, father of two – oh, and right: Obama supporter. Just got a letter from his healthcare provider telling him that his private health insurance just went up by ten grand a year:

“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,” Waschura said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican charge to defund Obamacare.

“I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.”

Let me tell you a secret: we don’t need people like Mr. Waschura to love us. We just need people like him to vote their class interests, to quote the Marxists who unaccountably confidently expect this rotating disaster of a health care rationing system to fuel public outcry for socialized medicine. They don’t have to vote Republican forever, you know. We’ll be happy if they vote Republican just enough to allow the party to kill this thing. With that in mind, let me just be the first to assure Mr. Waschura that his hope that the rates will be adjusted down in a few years is only half-justified: left unchecked, they will be adjusted. Only upwards. The Democrats always expected and planned that Obamacare would be funded by raiding the incomes of as many people as possible; making the insurance companies the mechanism for jacking up premiums was the only way to get the insurance companies on-board.

“When this thing starts stinging all of the working families and working Americans in a couple of years there is going to be such a scream that Democrat are going to have to go into hiding.”

I remember a comment by a Dem (I think) about Hillary care, something to the tune of “if we pass this, in a few years the people will be hunting Democrats with dogs.” They haven’t learned.

The most amazing thing about the Marxists in the US is how they have taken over the universities and indoctrinated the elite students into beleiving that they are the lumpen proletariat.

As a result, you have highly paid corporate execs who feel they are part of the Socialist Vanguard marching to the strain of “L’Internationale”, when intact, they are the class enemy Same with labor unionists.

Obama is turning on these people and they are beginning to understand that they are the enemies in his ultimate agenda

The liberals I know, but no longer speak to, will bitch but will still write the checks. They’ll go without food and clothing to stay on obama’s sled to hell. And they’ll NEVER vote for a republican.

It would almost be worth talking to them just to laugh in their faces. Almost...

Yep. They’ll be just like the Japanese women throwing their children off cliffs rather than hand them over to the “American Devils”. They’ll die shouting “I hate republicans!” Or if they end up in FEMA camps they’ll be going around with a glass stare saying “This ain’t so bad.”

“I really don’t like the Republican tactics,

Yeah, but I bet you voted for Boxer, fine swine and probably Nancy pig lousy too. Remember how San Fran Nan said "We have to pass it to find out what's in it"? Suck on that sour lemon you douche bag. I hate the LIV in the liberal states and cities.

“Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”

The guy can’t really be all that surprised, can he? He was perfectly willing to finance the healthcare for the poor on the back of someone else, he just never realized that he would be that “someone else”

The Democrats will shortly be screaming for the Republicans to help them make major changes to Obamacare. Remember HillaryCare.......

If this is the Yutz, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyntheSys_Research) he can very probably afford it and I would triple his premium just for inflicting the amateur, probably twice, on the rest of us who can’t afford it.

Democrat/marxist family members should be ostracized from all conservative homes, especially at holiday time. If they are going to make our lives miserable; they are not welcome under our roof.
