San Francisco architect Lee Hammack says he and his wife, JoEllen Brothers, are cradle Democrats. They have donated to the liberal group Organizing for America and worked the phone banks a year ago for President Obamas re-election.
Since 1995, Hammack and Brothers have received their health coverage from Kaiser Permanente, where Brothers worked until 2009 as a dietician and diabetes educator. Weve both been in very good health all of our lives exercise, dont smoke, drink lightly, healthy weight, no health issues, and so on, Hammack told me.
The couple Lee, 60, and JoEllen, 59 have been paying $550 a month for their health coverage a plan that offers solid coverage, not one of the skimpy plans Obama has criticized. But recently, Kaiser informed them the plan would be canceled at the end of the year because it did not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The couple would need to find another one. The cost would be around double what they pay now, but the benefits would be worse.
From all of the sob stories Ive heard and read, ours is the most extreme, Lee told me in an email last week. . . .

“From all of the sob stories Ive heard and read, ours is the most extreme, Lee told me in an email last week. . . .
BWAHAHAHAHASHAHAHA stop stop, the laughter is killing me! Whenever a liberal suffers, I get a super tingle up my leg.
"Comment after the story sums it up: Shorter version: He lied to our face. But we still support him. Now, how can we get other people to pay us a subsidy?
Ain't that the truth. Typical self-centered, conniving leftists.
Certainly some liberals won’t be able to recalibrate their small, confused brains to make the clear determination that supporting Obamacare was a mistake... but in light of all these stories coming out lately, I remain hopeful that many will and we will see a political BLOODBATH in 2014.
“Thats little comfort to Hammack. Hes written to Californias senators and his representative, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., asking for help.
We believe that the Act is good for health care, the economy, & the future of our nation. However, ACA options for middle income individuals ages 59 & 60 are unaffordable. Were learning that many others are similarly affected. In that spirit we ask that you fix this, for all of our sakes, he and Brothers wrote.”
ROFL Make it good for me but not for thee!
What goes around, comes around
Yeah what is it with white Bay Area types? They do look a little, er . . different. Like they’re not quite “together”
>> Loyal Obama Supporters, Canceled by Obamacare
The cult of douche.
Then stew in it, Rat!
“Kaiser Permanente has many other plans available.”
That is true. These whiners have been offered one. But all of the plans need to fulfill the mandates of Obamacare. ALL of the insurance plans do. And getting all of the bells and whistles costs more. And insurance companies being forced to insure high risk people (with all of the bells and whistles) will also raise the rates - on ALL of the plans.
That said, my provider, forced to discontinue my plan that I have had for years, rolled me over into another plan (higher premiums, higher deductibles, etc.) So I went on my state’s healthcare site to see what their plans were like. An estimated $200 a month more through the state, with an even higher deductible. So much for the “Affordable” care act. (Heh. Now I know they call it an “act”.)
Then they should shut their mouths and suck it up.
These people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.
No. As long as this gets them to vote conservative, if they plan to keep voting liberal, they can pound sound.
They probably haven’t heard a word of conservative news, they probably watch John Stewart, and CNN.
If you can’t get your message across to people, then there’s no hope in them adopting your ideals.
We have reasonable ideas, and thoughts. Problem is getting people to listen.
95% of the media is in the tank for Obama, they’ll be in the tank for Hillary in 2016. We need a way of getting conservative values across the line.
They shouldn’t be allowed to vote either. In fact, anyone receiving public assistance of any kind including ObamaCare subsidies should have to forfeit their privilege to vote.
We’ll see a bloodbath if McCain and his “gang of morons” don’t rescue Obama.
If the Repubs step in at this point, THEY will own it. Every dem campaign for the next 20 years will be focused on how the Repubs KILLED the greatest bill ever.
When your enemy is killing itself, step back.
When we retake the senate and WH, with conservatives, we can let executive orders fly, just like Obambi did. Then we can fix what is broken.
Until then, let the Dems own this fiasco. This is great campaign material for us. The GOPe want to save Obama’s hide, nothing more.
If we couldn’t kill it by not funding it, so be it. Now the dems are wanting to push it back until after their elections. Tough titty said the kitty. YOU WROTE IT, YOU DEAL WITH IT. Dems exclaimend over and over on talk shows how the left was irresponsible and were just being racist. Hmmm, now THEY want to postpone it a year. This will play well with independents who have some common sense.
I bet if we let the chips fall where they may, we will almost sweep elections. And it gives us such great talking points and sound bites. Imagine the commercials we can run.
Time to educate the Sheeple about socialism.
I’ve heard it said that there were people in the Gulags who believed that if “Comrade Stalin just knew what was happening here...”
Like these two imbeciles, they just didn’t get it.
