He beat that Obamacare deadline. Did you?
CNBC ^ | December 22, 2014 | by Dan Mangan

New York City resident Nicolas Karlson was happy to be one of at least 2.5 million people who beat a major Obamacare enrollment deadline last week, but he's going to be paying a lot more for health insurance next year because of it.

To cover himself, his wife, Monica, and their three children, 45-year-old Karlson will go from paying $1,805 every three months for their long-standing Aetna plan, to a new one from New York State's Obamacare exchange that will cost them $1,221.60 per month, or more than 100 percent more than his old plan cost.

That steep bump in price is a result of Aetna's reacting to a feature in the Affordable Care Act, a law that Karlson said of with a laugh, "I literally had no idea that it would affect me at all."

Typical liberal thinking. The laws they support and enact, they think wont apply to them.

He, among millions in the politically ‘right’ [left] venues, will be plaintively be withholding their Democrat votes for a ‘subsidy’.

The rest of us out here in unrepresented America [Thank you, Mr. Suntan) will be fending for ourselves it seems.

It must be nice where you can laugh off having to suddenly pay an extra $600/month in taxes.

I think he’s what one would call a ‘catcher’.

He looks 100% more feminine than that she-demon in purple.

Ye gods, he's paying almost $15,000 a year in premiums alone? Wonder what his deductibles and co-pays look like.

We can't afford insurance. And thus we don't have any. That's the long and short of it.

You mean a deadline for an egregious, invalid, unconstitutional federal act so-called ACA (AKA Obamacare)?

The only thing that’s dead should be that stupid and illegal federal act. The states should nullify it unless or until it is repealed. I’ve personally nullified it.

Karlson is just a whiner. Yes, his costs might have doubled, and he has no out of network coverage (so I guess he can’t travel), but he can now get a sex change operation and all the in-patient drug treatment he wants.

"It's like, I'm happy that I have insurance, but I wish I could have the insurance that I want," he said. "I feel I can adapt to whatever I have, and we are, but, I guess it's like I didn't realize I had a good thing."

Yeah we all had a "good thing" until Obama was immaculated.

Be happy for what we decide is best for you, peasant.

One would think. However, there are two girls he claims as his. Whether the result of in vitro or turkey baster, he DOES have spawn.

Yet, the only way to be sure is to visit Maury Povich’s show. I wonder if that is in the cards?

I harken to that age old adage - mama’s baby, daddy’s maybe.

I submitted a paper application last week of November but keep getting “you need to enroll by Dec. 31” notices. Website does not show whether or not they received it and when I call: “We are experiencing unusually heavy traffic. Please call back later”. Seems to be nothing further I can do — except send another application?
