Oregon Mother: I Can’t Afford Obamacare For Myself, 1-Year-Old Son
CBS Seattle ^ | January 2, 2014

PORTLAND, Ore. (CBS Seattle/AP) — One Oregon mother says that she is unable to afford health insurance for her and her 18-month-old son because it’s too expensive.

Kate Holly, 33, tells KOIN-TV that she originally championed President Barack Obama’s signature health care law because she thought it would help people in her situation.

“I’ve been a cheerleader for the Affordable Care Act since I heard about it and I assumed that it was designed for people in my situation,” Holly, a freelance yoga instructor, told KOIN. “I was planning on using the Affordable Care Act and I had done the online calculator in advance to make sure I was going to be able to afford it.”

These types of stories really break my heart.

Just imagine thinking your healthcare will be free.

Then you realize you can’t afford it for your family.

It must feel like the end of the world for may people.

Then I think, “You voted for this crap, so enjoy it daily”.


Bunch of dumb, stupid suckers. You deserve the very worst.

"I’ve been a cheerleader for the Affordable Care Act since I heard about it and I assumed that it was designed for people in my situation,"

Translation: "I loved it because I thought it would give me a bunch of free sh#t I deserve because I want it,"

This Liberal deserves what she is getting but the rest of us don't. May she choke on her tofu veggie sticks.

I fear that you are right, Blue.

No need for me to assess how “thick” I am as regards intelligence. Thick, and I know it. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how they think. Is there a realistic answer as to what logically, by their thinking, was going to be the end result other than what it is? Surely, after about age 15 or so, people figure out that nothing is free.(?)

Just curious to know how they did their math to come up with any other possible answer other than having to pay.

Janis Joplin, 1969,

Dialing for Dollars is trying to find me...

The liberal gimmies celebrate Janis, but Janis had her eyes wide open on economics, as conservative as they come.

This is classic socialism: the naive do-gooders believe the “good intentions” of socialism and big government only to find out later that they’ve been duped by the false promises of socialism and power-hungry demagogues.


The path to Hell is paved with “good intentions.”

She will never believe that she contributed to the problem. She is not required to adjust to reality but can live in never-never land in liberal OR.

But people in other parts of OR are too disorganized to outvote the three urban areas.

She is legion, a little mean to single her out; her fellow liberals are the culprits too.
