Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz Plugs Affordable Care Act in Miami Health Center Visit

South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz came to the Borinquen Health Care Center in Midtown Miami to share Affordable Care Act success stories Thursday.

"Right here at Borinquen they've helped educate 2,600 people in the last four weeks about the health care plans that are available in the marketplace," announced the congresswoman.

However, in the last month navigators here have only been able to enroll seven people. Miriam Romero was the very first.

"She found a plan for $136 a month and now she's going to have the coverage that she needs," Wasserman Schultz said when she called the 61-year-old to the podium.

But despite the congresswoman's introduction, Romero didn't end up sounding like a success story. She is concerned about the premium for a plan with a 40 percent co-pay.

"Now for me is too much money," Romero said.

After the news conference Romero said, "Yeah, I signed the policy but maybe I don’t want it." She is considering canceling it. The navigator who helped her says there must be some confusion and Romero has an appointment to return next week to clear things up.

In Florida, Wasserman-Schultz responds to GOP attacks on health law - October 31, 2013 - “The Republicans are engaged in a civil war. They’re trying to take away the peace of mind that coverage is available,” Wasserman Schultz said.

Even hand picked “success stories” are failures. REPEAL this junk law now!

Nice one!

The pic reminds me that on BOR show, Laura Ingraham said she was dressing up as Sebelius for Halloween. “I’ll have the scythe of death, the gray wig, it’ll be great!”

I’d love to see her in that get-up, maybe she’ll post pics.

Hey Debbie: You might want to look at Flori-duh on this chart (Uh, Florida comes right after District of Columbia and just before Georgia. Uh, look for the second line that goes all the way across the chart. Florida is right above that line):

Dumb bitch.

The article says the Health Center switched to paper applications.

It’s OKay! LOL.

bigbob knows. I posted it to him.

He’s the awesome guy who told me about it and wanted to see the photo.

I just happened to be trying to fall asleep on my comfy couch watching the replay of Greta, and she said the photo was posted at gretawire.

If there ever was a justified need for a full frontal lobotomy, it is Debbie Wassermanm-PUTZ.

She makes Charles Manson sound sane and that’s not easy to do.

The same goes for her evil twin sister, Kathleen Sebelius, the coldest, most heartless woman in America (even worst then the mentally ill Pelosi - SO MUCH COMPETITION HERE).
