THIS is just why Obamacare was created....to make DECENT hard working families PAY FOR slackers that don’t pay taxes.

Usually you lose your doctor and the hospital you would normally go to under Obamacare as well have double the premium and double the deductible.

My new years prediction: Democrats will turn on Obamacare in droves, but it will not help them in November.

I think I see the problem: This family is almost completely debt free. They are not sufficiently dependent and shall be crushed. Worse, she has spoken up. She must be a right wing secret militia member and she will get special attention from all the alphabet government agencies to assure right thinking and subservience.

-— When I opened our letter to say I had sticker shock was an understatement. -—

I guess they didn’t pick up on five years of warnings.

They either didn’t vote or voted for Obama.

I read through the whole pity-party article. An overly long recount of her troubles and difficulty in dealing with bureaucrats she mistakenly ascribes to “insurance companies”. She wasn’t dealing with ‘insurance companies’. She was talking to Exchange Bureaucrats - Obama’s people.

Insurance companies did not set the rules here, Obama did. He had THREE YEARS and over HALF A BILLION DOLLARS to get this right. And he signed up 6 people the first day. Today, January 1, 2014, his administration and the media are implying they’ve signed up nearly a million people, BUT THEY WILL NOT PROVE IT with evidence.

Honestly, I commiserate with her and her husband because they seem to be workers - producers and seem to be a nice family. The only thing I’d like to see in this article is who the hell she voted for in 2008 and 2012.

That family is going to get an IRS audit. She will learn to shut up.

The worst law in American history will not be repealed. Obamacare is the progressives' golden calf. For pubbies, it is a club with which to pound democrats.

The uniparty knows Obamacare is largely responsible for our economic suffering, yet it will neither defund nor repeal it.

Our demise is assured until more of us get our minds around the fact that our elected oligarchs in Washington DC will do nothing to save our dying republic. Elections cannot excise the virus of liberalism.

I've been arguing with a close friend who is looking forward to Obamacare and has just enrolled in it. To him its basically income equalization as evidenced in what he said in his last email:

"Again, these rules are for those who are not on a free lunch with their employer

My husband and I have had full time jobs for 6 years and 13 years respectively. We have been with the same two companies for those years. We are a middle class family; we own our three bedroom two bath house, we own two cars, and previously provided our own insurance for the four of us. We have coverage through Individual Blue from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama until 12/31/13. Our premiums have been $380.00 a month, which also included dental coverage for all four of us.

I wonder, instead of going to the ACA Exchange for coverage, why they didn’t look to enroll in group health coverage with their respective employers. Of course it could be that both of their employers are very, very small companies that don’t provide and aren’t required to provide any health insurance benefits or their employer’s plan’s open enrollment does not open at January 1 (some employer group health plans operate and renew on a fiscal year basis such as on July 1 or September 1 and not on a calendar year basis) or their employer’s plans really suck and would be even more expensive that what they got quoted on the exchange.

But I have to wonder why this option and explanation of why that was not an option, was left out of her letter.

Unfortunately and sadly you are right. this same thing will be happening all across the nation as more and more “takers” get on board with the demodummies. Wait till the new amnesty kicks in.

Let’s hope it sinks most of them in November.

2. Alabama or Auburn fan...

That's not what she said. She made the comparison between a private insurance company, and getting good customer service, and the government, saying "I can’t imagine how long a company would last in this country if they followed the same protocol as the ACA/Health Insurance Marketplace does." She was not mistaken at all.
