VIDEO: Students at historically black college complain Obamacare has left them uninsured
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 11/16/2013 11:29:45 AM PST by sunmars

Students at Bowie State University assailed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Thursday after administrators cancelled a low cost school-wide health care plan due to new regulations in the law.

Many students told Campus Reform that the now cancelled plans, which provided coverage for just $50 per semester, were the only insurance they could afford.

“I can’t afford anything right now,” one said. “I can’t even afford my loans.”

“We don’t have that money,” said another. “We can barely afford books.”

Several students said that they felt they had been let down.

“It’s stupid and it’s Obama’s fault,” one said. “You haven’t done anything, Obama, and I’m disappointed in you.”

“What it was hyped up to be, was that it was supposed to solve a lot of problems and help a lot of people, and its not really doing that,” said another.

Many students had no idea the plans had been canceled, which was announced only in an email to their school addresses.

In a statement to Campus Reform, Bowie State said it was confident that Obamacare would fill the void left by the canceled plans.

“Most students are now able to be covered under their parent’s health plans up to age 26 at no additional cost and new affordable coverage is becoming available through the Maryland State Insurance Exchange System,” it read.

Campus Reform conducted the interviews with student Eugene Craig III, who first wrote about canceled plans in an article in the school’s alternative newspaper, The Bulldog Collegian.

“Obama God, always take care of me”

Many of their parents probably don't have insurance or cannot afford to add the kids to it.

I wonder if it ever occurs to the female students and to other young women that it would have been cheaper to just pay eight bux a month for their birth control instead of changing their whole healthcare plan in order to cover that for them?

It is a shame people were pulled in by a professional con artist like Obama.

I feel sorry for those that are now screwed.

I wish people would have done their homework instead of voting for skittles and rainbows.

You know, I don’t think these women (or men for that matter) have been taught to think for themselves at all. They have fallen into the Marxist’s lair, and it will take them more than a decade to even realize they need to get out.

This is like one of those psy-fi shows where the heroes find themselves in a bar where anything they dream comes true. Outside the whole world is melting down around them.

Unfortunately Buck Rogers and Wilma Dearing are 487 years in the future...

But I'd vote for Obama again in a heartbeat

Not sure about Federal employees but Military? Yes you can cover your adult child up to 26 but it is a significant extra cost, a couple hundred bucks a month, 3 months up front. We could not afford it, so daughter lost her coverage.

What the heck do they mean “no additional cost”? Their parents pay for it at Obamacare’s higher premiums.

Obama has been the worst President for the Blacks, yet they will still vote for him.
