Former MSNBC Host’s Health Plan Cancelled, New Plan Costs 3.5 Times More
Mediaite ^ | November 8, 2013 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 11/08/2013 10:10:14 AM PST by PJ-Comix

“Thnx Mr. President.” That’s all former MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan had to say to President Barack Obama on Thursday when he announced that the health insurance plan he purchased on the individual market after leaving the news network was being cancelled. The new plan he was eligible would cost him 3.5 times more than his previous plan.

“I bought a catastrophic health policy for $170/mo when I left MSNBC,” Ratigan confessed. “Obamacare cancelled the policy. New rate $600/mo. Thnx Mr. President!”

His tweet admission was met with a flurry of ACA supporters who attempted to explain to Ratigan why he should welcome the elimination of his previous plan. Ratigan’s subsequent tweets consist of debating his followers who advocated for the abolition of simple, catastrophic coverage plans.

Tough luck, Dylan. You were an incredibly annoying host who did not shy from shutting down debate from those who opposed your extreme liberalism. And now you expect sympathy because the very policy you supported came back to bite you on the butt?

Gee Mr. Ratigan, is that all you’ve got to say? I mean, you’re a professional yakker, aren’t you?

Ratigan criticises The Obama, The Messiah, The Won.

Ratigan is racist.

Bwahahahahahahahahah...oh, the karma....

If a similar story were given to this idiot, he would downplay, spin or outright ignore it.

I feel bad for you, Dylan. Looks like you’re going to have to cut out a couple of visits to the strip clubs.

Dylan, so happy to hear that your sub-par bad-apple insurance policy has been transitioned to a right-priced superior plan. It sounds like you’re getting a great deal on better coverage.

I love watching the reaction these liberal fluffers get on Twitter when they start complaining.

Karma is a bitch, and she’s got her claws out on this one.

Rep. Trey Gowdy says President Barack Obama’s latest comments about his health care law could earn him another Nobel Prize — for fiction. “The president already has a Nobel Prize for peace, I think he’s shooting for one in fiction,” Gowdy (R-S.C) said Monday on Fox News’s “The Kelly File.”

Does that make Obozo a Nobel Liar?

"They said if you liked your insurance you could keep your insurance—but that’s not true. It was never true! They said if you liked your doctor you could keep your doctor—but that’s not true. It was never true! They said they would cover everyone who needed it, and instead people who had coverage are losing it—millions of them! They said they would make insurance less expensive—but it’s more expensive! Premium shock, deductible shock. They said don’t worry, your health information will be secure, but instead the whole setup looks like a hacker’s holiday. Bad guys are apparently already going for your private information. . . . "

In case you can't read it, here is just that paragraph full size

white-house-two

I am as cynical as one possibly can be about politics and this even amazes me.

Covered California executive director Peter Lee told the Chronicle editorial board that he expects 800,000 to 900,000 people to lose their non-grandfathered private insurance policies on Dec. 31, thanks to the Affordable Care Act. (This figure — which is higher than past numbers reported – does not include small business coverage.) “The individual market is changing dramatically,” Lee said. What about President Obama’s promise that if people liked their plan, they could keep it? “I think it was not well stated,” Lee answered. Obama’s rhetoric “may have been an inarticulate way of describing what the realities are.”

Quickly, the Reality of ObamaScare made her smile disappear!

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

Inspite of the Daily ObozoScamScare Trainwrecks, the ObozoScamScare Outhouse Band continues to play on:

Spend years promoting communists in the democrat party, then whine when it bites you in the rump?

Seriously?

Ratigan is an idiot.
