Weekly Standard ^ | January 30, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER

A local news station brings viewers inside one Pennsylvania company as the employees their learn about their new health care plans under Obamacare:

"Look at the numbers," says the reporter of two employees. "Jeff and Dave used to have a $1,250 deductible. Since Obamacare went into effect, it's now jumped 60 percent to $2,000. That's nothing compared to Brian, Kristi, and Judy who have kids. they are going to pay twice that, four grand." The reporter adds that co-pays are being increased, too.

"I don't know how President Obama thinks he's helping us because we can't afford this, we can't afford to pay these co-pays, to pay these deductibles on what we're making," says one of the workers.

Another worker adds, "They call it the affordable health plan. There's nothing affordable about it. I can't afford it."

Before Obamacare was passed, we critics said that it's biggest parts were timed so as to not take place until after the 2012 election, and that these things would make health care more expensive. The Obama supporters laughed at us, called us racist, and said we didn't care about people.

Now that the 2012 election is over, our predictions are coming true.

Pennsylvania voted for Obama in both elections. I live in Pennsylvania, and I still see Obama bumper stickers all over the place.

It's too bad this news story doesn't tell us which of these employees voted for Obama and which did not.

Well those people who are on welfare and dont want to work sure appreciate your tax money and willingness to pay for their insurance.

I have little sympathy for people who didn’t see this coming. When you elect an America-hating, White-hating redistributionist you get laws that take money away from those who produce it and give it to those who vote for more money.

I saw it coming. It was obvious.

The public has its head up its anal passageway and didn’t have the mental capacity to know what they were electing. No tears from me for these people. Tears for the normal people who didn’t vote for the marxist.

Outrageous.

I hope they weren’t obama voters.

I watched the first 4 minutes.

Tell them to stop the bickering. If everyone would just stop the bickering we'd be just fine. We need to stop the bickering in Washington...which means citizens should just put up with whatever we get.

Premiums went up on most people because they are helping to subsidize the treatment of AIDS patients.

wow — that's just gut wrenching. How does a 51 yr old woman working as an adminsitrative ass’t positon in a collision repair shop afford a $1400/mos insurance premium and a $4K deductable? She effectively is paying only for catastrophic care.

They should have asked them who they voted for.

This is all going according to plan. Just when the cries get loudest and violence seems imminent, the Dems will call a press conference and offer a solution.

“Hey, we’re reasonable, let’s just get rid of the ACA and replace it with something simpler and more affordable to you...we call it “single payer.”

But you can now get insurance paid abortions, birth control, and sex change operations! That is a big plus for most families. Right?
