CNN reports that a woman the president hailed as an Obamacare success story just realized she won't be able to afford Obamacare because it's too expensive.
"Jessica Sanford was cited by the president as an Obamacare success story at a health care event he had here at the White House in the Rose Garden on October 21," says a reporter for CNN from the White House. "That of course being just last month. The 48-year-old single mom from Washington state purchased what she considered to be affordable health care, life-changing event, she said, on the Washington state health exchange. She decided she was so excited about this news, she wanted to write an e-mail to the president to say that this had really changed her life and that she was thankful for the Afforable Care Act. The president included her e-mail in his remarks to people on hand for the event. Here's a bit of what the president had to say."
The CNN report quotes President Obama as saying, "I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington state. And here's what she wrote, I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed. and I haven't had insurance for 15 years because it's too expensive. I was crying the other day when I signed up, so much stress lifted."
"But days, just really three days after she was mentioned by the president, Jessica Sanford started having problems, she was receiving letters from the Washington state health exchange," reports CNN. "The first letter telling her that tax credit was reduced, therefore, increasing the cost of her health care plan and the, take a look at this, then she received a letter just last week telling her that her tax credit had been taken away all together. Show you another document here, showing what the tax credit worked out to be... zero dollars according to this document that was provided to us by Jessica Sanford. She describes all of this as a roller coaster ride. Now she says she can't afford insurance in Washington state because of the new developments."
Sanford tells CNN that she's embarrassed. "It was a huge disappointment, especially since I had, you know, my story had been shared by the president. I felt like, you know, I just felt really embarrassed that, you know, he quoted my story and then come to find that the Washington health plan finder, the website here in our state, had grossly miscalculated or they're having a problem figuring their tax credits. and so at least for right now, I don't -- I'm not going to be getting insurance," she says.
Single mom?
Why, I’d bet a whole lot that she voted for a substitute husband.
30 posts...outstanding!
The define the end goals as infinitely good,
so that the equation
means divided by ends
always justifies ANY means necessary.
Point of order.....
Who is Fred
And she won’t get her “free” birth control so that “all she has to worry about is getting him between the covers”.
>> Who is Fred
Shouldn’t that be “who ARE Fred”? :-)
The woman sounds like the usual self-loathing LIB idiot. She is back where she started...and being fined $95 next year. Sorry, “taxed”. There is silent resignation...no righteous anger at the LIB/DIM cretins who placed this upon her. No awakening. No logic chain kicking in. Just a quiet skull full of mush. She’ll crawl back into her hole until she has a chance to vote for more LIBs/DIMs in the next election. Maybe they’ll give her something.
I went to find the original CNN story, which is here:
But amazingly, the comments are turned off. Imagine that.
I wonder if she is related to Fred?

Wasn’t it just yesterday that the Democrat governor of WA cowrote an op ed about how well the exchange was working in his state?

I hate this phrase! As soon as someone intentionally utters this phrase we'll all supposed to collective sigh, "awe...".
This phrase has turned into nothing more than an instant appeal for victim-hood status and I hate it. Everybody's situation is certainly different, but on some level we all make choices. I am tired of having to carry the load for people who regularly make bad choices in their lives and expect everyone else to pick them up, dust them off, and say, "There, there, how much money and public support can we now give you because you're a single mom?"
Sometimes Americans just love to wallow in self pity and it's getting very tiresome. Many of these are the same ones who are hardcore Liberals and who refuse to acknowledge Biblical principles as hokey and beneath them and then rail against Christian Conservatives.
Sometime, not all the time, but sometimes you make your choices and there are known consequences and it ain't MY fault. Do something different. Make different choices to achieve better outcomes.
Boo hoo, I'm a single Mom.
Just 37 duplicates the other day. Start at reply 13.

Great point. This thing sure is a mess.
300 million people and they can’t find one, not one person in the entire country to legitimately hold up as a happy Obamacare customer.
The funny thing here isn’t that she’s a low info voter who got duped, she demonstrates that she’s conditioned to see it as HER fault.
Not the President’s for creating this mess. Not the WA Dem governor for misimplementing this mess.
By assuming herself tp be the one at fault, she just SCREAMS “Battered Spouse Syndrome”
Blood Wine is usually served with Schadenfreude! :-)
