NBC’s Lisa Myers profiled several people who are receiving health plan cancellation letters due to Obamacare Tuesday.

For example, George Schwab of North Carolina, said he was “perfectly happy” with his plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which also insured his wife for a $228 monthly premium. But this past September, he was surprised to receive a letter saying his policy was no longer available.

The “comparable” plan the insurance company offered him carried a $1,208 monthly premium and a $5,500 deductible. And the best option he’s found on the exchange so far offered a 415 percent jump in premium, to $948 a month.

1,208 monthly premium and a $5,500 deductible.
That amounts to 4 car payments per month...or a house payment. This will ruin the economy, bankrupt families, and ruin America.

That’s the plan. “Individuals” will soon learn that the best thing for “us” to do will be to move in to the city in to 400 sq/ft cubicles, sell any and all private modes of transportation, walk to the government stores to get out allotment for the week/mth and pray we have running water all day. Oh, and you won’t need any firearms either so turn them in when you enter the district. Hmmmm. Sounds more and more like the Hunger Games doesn’t it.

That was the point all along. If this won't teach whitey to give more money to the oppressed, nothing will.

I think if I were young again (and not on Medicare) I would just go without insurance.
And while I’m at it, the insurance companies were/are in cahoots with Obama! None of them are our friends. It’s sad that the insurance companies have sold us out. It’s all for money. They are all getting richer at our expense.

I used to worry about paying the mortgage every month. Now the mortgage is an after thought to taxes and insurance.

Yep, my brother in law wanted to buy a house.

The property taxes would be more than a mortgage in some scenarios.

It all makes sense when you think of the end goal of these leftists: destroy private enterprise, and have everyone working for the government and depending on it for everything.

“Everybody’s worried about whether the website works or not, but that’s fixable. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. This stuff isn’t fixable.”

True.

But if the website had worked, it would've made it easier for the Dems and media to ignore the rest.
