Rude Awakening: Californians 'Shocked' by Premium Increases, Dropped Coverage

Barack Obama waltzed to victory in California last year, trampling Mitt Romney by 21 percentage points. For many middle class families in the Golden State, Obamacare's chicken are coming home to roost. A few weeks back, we highlighted some priceless quotes from Bay Area residents who are reassessing their views on the president's signature law. One man said he'd been "laughing" at Republicans...until his saw his new premiums. Another offered this pitch-perfect distillation of the tension between feel-good liberalism and economic reality: "Of course, I want people to have health care. I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally."

Alternate headline should read: "Rude Awakening: Californians 'Shocked' To Discover Socialism Isn't Free".

More shock coming...

“[Immigration and Customs Enforcement] does not use information about such individuals or members of their household that is obtained for purposes of determining eligibility for such coverage as the basis for pursuing a civil immigration enforcement action against such individuals or members of their household,” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reads.

“I just didn’t think I’d be paying for it personally.” Typical liberal. Just whom does he think would be paying for it? Santa Claus?

The reason they won’t listen to you (not “wouldn’t”, because they still won’t)

is because their support of liberalism is the source of their self-righteousness.

Accepting that liberalism is a lie would be accepting that they aren’t, indeed, “a good person”.

RE :”Of course, I want people to have health care. I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”

Obama got relected because he convinced enough suckers that Obamacare would be ‘free’ to everyone but those billionaires like Romney who would fund it.

He thought only millionaires and billionaires (i.e) - “republicans” would be paying for it - or - um, um, the government” - yeah, that’s the ticket!

Liberals have such a childlike view of reality - it’s sad, disturbing, maddening and almost funny.

We need to bring back literacy tests in order to vote...

[MrB]

I asked my libinlaw who she thought would pay for “free” medical care for everyone,
and the reply was “well, the money’s out there!”

[MrB]

Just show the amount of income tax paid - if it’s >0, you can vote.

I axed my 40 something year old unmarried, no boyfriend no kids liberal woman neighbor the same question - she just said over and over " I can't talk about this right now, I can't talk about this right now" . . . the liber equivalent of clamping their hands over their ears and saying . . . LALALALALALALAICANTHEARYOULALALALAICANTHEARYOULALALA

[MrB]

See, whether it’s possible or workable or not is not the issue for the sheeperal.

It’s feeling good about yourself for ADVOCATING it that’s important. Any examination beyond that is a personal attack on their “good personhood”.

I sent my only liberal friend an email this morning asking how her “insurance broker” came through for her on Obamacare last week. Crickets.

[RobbyS]

Like all their friends.
