Dan Pfeiffer, the top White House communications strategist, tweeted out a liberal organization's hit piece on Edie Sundby's insurance company
Pfeiffer has one of the few 'official' White House Twitter accounts
The story ran on the Think Progress blog, a project of the Center for American Progress – run by a former Clinton White House chief of staff
It alleged Sundby's now-famous health insurance limbo is United Healthcare's fault, not Obamacare's
Sundby, who has battled gallbladder cancer for nearly seven years, wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed about how Obamacare will affect her health
Her insurance plan will be canceled next month, leaving her to choose between one government plan that won't cover her primary care doctor and another that won't cover her oncologist
Obama had claimed Americans could keep their doctors after Obamacare became law: 'What happened to the president's promises?' she asked
President Obama's top communications strategist sparked outrage on Monday after tweeting a blog entry that belittled a cancer sufferer's concerns about losing her doctor and insurance because of Obamacare.
Edie Littlefield Sundby, a California woman with stage-4 gallbladder cancer, wrote a powerful Wall Street Journal op-ed that she will soon lose her medical insurance – and access to her life-saving oncologists – as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act.
But Think Progress, a far-left blog, countered with an article claiming that her insurance company, United Healthcare, left her in the lurch because it chose to abandon the individual insurance market for financial reasons.

What, they didn’t blame the GOP?
Has Danny signed up for ObamaCare yet? If not, why not?
Gotta love those compassionate, holier-than-thou Dims.
It’s official now. They hate us all.
Void the bowels of Washington, D.C. 2014-2016
“Outrage” rolls right down the backs of these scum. It matters not.
That cancer patient will be audited and visited by every fefderal agency now.
It’s not wise to take on a very old person or a person with a terminal disease. The omnipotent state rules through coercion - threats of impoverishment, imprisonment and death. Of course, the circumstances of the very old and ill make these threats much less potent and many of these people are willing to make a last stand.
RIP Norm Leibmann comedy writer and owner of thefirehat.com. He labeled the Clinton “news” conferences “reporter obedience training.”
Edie Littlefield Sundby has been deemed not worth saving. At stage 4, she is beyond redemption.
The death panel has spoken
It is , what it is.
bully. Just like the rest of them. Takers.
Dan Pfeiffer looks like an SS Captain.
White House communications strategist
I believe that is supposed to be read as communistication stratigist
Obama obviously has schizophrenic multiple personalities, Dan Pfeiffer is one of them.
The administration SCUM have been playing softball compared to what they are going to do to non-believers and dissenters from here on in.
We just have to keep all these arrogant a-holes from the Obama administration talking, tweating and posting as much as possible.
Sooner or later they all slip up and reveal their true nature, and it is always horrifying to behold.
The Obama White House is starting to act more and more like the Jonestown cult.
