College Grad Says Obamacare ‘Has Raped My Future’ In Viral Letter
CBS News Washington D.C. ^ | October 9, 2013 | Benjamin Fearnow

Posted on 10/09/2013 2:27:26 PM PDT by grundle

A University of Michigan graduate penned an open letter that went viral online as she described how President Barack Obama’s signature health care law hurts the working poor, and has “raped” her future.

I have asthma, ulcers, and mild cerebral palsy. Obamacare takes my monthly rate from $75 a month for full coverage on my “Young Adult Plan,” to $319 a month. After $6,000 in deductibles, of course,” Dionne wrote in the Facebook post.

“Liberals claimed this law would help the poor. I am the poor, the working poor, and I can’t afford to support myself, let alone older generations and people not willing to work at all.”

This law has raped my future,” she writes. “It will keep me and kids my age from having a future at all. This is the real face of Obamacare and it isn’t pretty.”

Sorry, kid.

You have the same future that all kids in all Marxist countries have had; that is, you can spend the remainder of your life on Earth working for the Marxists so they can live in their posh mansions and summer dachas and shop in restricted and fully-stocked stores.

Don’t like it? Welcome to the Tea Party.

Kids? You won’t be able to afford kids, honey ...or a house, or even a car after Obama gets through with you and your generation.

What a boom, in the short term at least, for insurance companies. I just can’t see how that industry or the gov ever thought this would work.

"“I have asthma, ulcers, and mild cerebral palsy. "

I thought that most ulcer situations can be cured these days, asthma controlled, CP remains an issue.

Bammy underemployment is a huge issue. As is a $6k deductible.

I'm happy to note that she doesn't seem to want to become a slave/ward of the 0bamaNation.

Oops.

I expect that soon she will cease to exist.

No web presence, no one answering the phone, ... zip, nada.

“She was a fake; this was a scam from the Tea Party.”

I’ll bet this woman was once proud of helping America elect The First Black President and ‘helping the poor get access to better health care’. Now, she’s seeing the reality of collectivist schemes foisted on the public by the liberal Washington elites. I’m trying to feel sorry for her but sometimes one has to bear the consequences of one’s foolishness. Of course, if she never voted for Obama I would have more sympathy. I would like to know.

Young people should be the most outraged people in the country. They ought to be storming Capitol Hill with pitchforks, tar and feathers. Their futures are being destroyed by massive debt and government mandates. They’re screwed. The Left had better hope the younger generation doesn’t suddenly figure this out.
