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.”

She won’t stay off the reservation for along; she will back on board by, say, November 2014.

‘How does a freelance yoga instructor accurately report income?’

Her case is handled by a freelance IRS agent.

What kind of father does not buy his child health insurance?

I would sell everything to make sure my kids were covered.

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

That's an odd statement -- the aggregate population of rural areas is much smaller, as it is most everywhere. Especially a factor when you consider electoral votes. You can drive 50 miles in parts of eastern Oregon and not see a residence or populated ranch.

“Freelance yoga instructor?” Is this from the Onion or Scrappleface?

I guess she’s goiing to have to quit working and go on the dole.....

Or she could go to work on her back and not pay any taxes.

But pimps for the other girls may take a dim view of that ... and will impose their own taxes for her "protection". Sort of like Fedgov does.

Boo hoo, mama. We tried to tell you, you wouldn’t listen. Now live with what you helped foster.

That's not yet even the really select, tenderloin part. Wait'll she's sitting in a crowded reception room waiting to be seen with her kid by a real doctor, and sees an unending stream of Holder's People filtering through and going straight to the back of the building, where the doctors' offices and examining rooms are.

Just like they do in China. The People wait and wait, and the Party people go straight to the doctor.

Who says any of us will be allowed to see that???

"Ok, Mr. Spawn of Lazamataz!!!"

A compliment of the highest order!

I beg to differ. You really don't think that the Party people will be going to the same facility as the proles, do you? Separate semi-secret offices for them!

Don't you feel healthier already?

The graphic omits one arrow; the one from the insurance industry moneybags back to Obama.
