Bull crap
“Mukherjee asked Matthews whether he had any advice for fellow Republicans now that he has learned that Obamacare actually isn’t that bad.”
“Make sure you’re 61 and have little or no income like me before you apply”; Matthews said. “That’s how you get it for free and 30 slubs you’ll never meet pay your premiums”.
So does the person who is actually paying for this guy's insurance also think it is awesome?
“Butch” is all over the sphere with various articles mentioning his name in Obamacare articles. He’s the new “Chad”.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.

He doesn’t work, but “he has assets saved up”. So — Obamacare gives him FREE medical insurance, paid by you and I.
“Matthews knew that, at his income level, the law would help him pay for insurance. But even he might not have expected just how good of a deal he could get: his new coverage will cost him absolutely nothing in monthly premiums after factoring in federal subsidies, and has a deductible of $750.”
... a piece of legislation that aims to make health insurance more affordable for millions of Americans....
That WAS the stated “aim” but it hasn’t and won’t. Liberals declared war “aimed” at eliminating poverty 50 years ago, spent trillions, and the poverty rate hasn’t changed. Obamacare “aimed” to insure 30 million people and reduce costs by $2500.
Obama is just a better liar than the average Marxist, and our population has been dumbed down over the past 50 years.
This law needs destroyed root and branch.
Yea, no one believes this guy is a stanch Republicans.....come on - do they really think Americans are that stupid.
I checked it out, just because I was conscious.
My husband and I would see an increase of $9,000 a year, higher copays and higher deductible.....sure I would love it
Remember the union goon complaining about (supposed) "unintended consequences?" Besides impacting the union members themselves, how many people who are currently making auto payments will have that formerly disposable income eaten up by ObamaCare. I can't wait to see what happens to the auto industry once it fully kicks in...

Yet another left-leaning article from Business Insider.
‘Business Insider’ is a Democrat propaganda organ designed to look as if it is on a par with real business publications like Forbes, Investors Business Daily, and the Wall Street Journal, etc. This “Henry Blodget” is a rat operative. Either Blodget genuinely stumbled upon an anecdotal needle in a haystack, or his whole story is a fraud. I’m betting on the latter.
How can the media actually report this crap????
Supposedly, Mr. “Typical” reports that as he has no income Zer0care is cheaper than his past coverage!
What?? Mr. Typical with no income, would have been enrolled in Medicaid, so, which government teat has he decided to move to: The Medicaid teat, or Zer0’s teat??
Still a scum-sucker!
No kidding. There is nothing about him until all of the retweeting and blogging and Daily Kos type posting.
When it won’t pass the giggle test I tend to believe it ain’t true.
The Affordable Scare Act doesn’t make healthcare affordable for millions of Americans—it just rams it down everybody’s throat, so that when everyone is signed up you will have to wait six months for an appointment to see a specialist. Stupid Democrats have forced an increase in demand for services but neglected to ramp up the supply process to meet the demand. Of course they neglected it—it’s an impossible task! The result is going to be an automatic shortage of healthcare providers, leading to rationing of services. Like maybe this was not the intent all along?
Hey, I like Obamacare. I like Unicorns too. I was talking to one just the other day. In fact, I think he said his name was Butch Matthews too.
A second question would have to be just what kind of "business" do you have that generates enough income to have a house and cars completely paid off, yet makes "so little" that he qualifies for such a plan?
Butch Mathews is the new Carlos Danger.
Other skeptics like me have been wondering about “Butch” since that probably is a nickname. Age fits, wife’s name fits. He lives in Sherwood, AR (nice town). The picture they have been showing is the couple at meteor crater, which is a total free enterprise place just in case you were wanting to go. The guy may be right on his end, but he’s not giving a thought to those that will be paying his bills. Sad. Young people starting out, saving for a house, their lives and along come Butch.
Of course we’re afraid people will like it. Obamacare is going to add trillions more to the debt by subsidizing people’s health care and putting taxpayers on the hook for even more than the $140,000 we all each owe now. And once these people are on the teat, they will never vote for anyone who will overturn Obamacare. If we can’t defund it or delay it this month, then the war will be lost. And we’ll be losing elections for a decade if we try to campaign on overturning it before we finally give up trying. It’ll never be overturned, until we finally face our Greece-style day of reckoning. Which will end up with everyone’s bank accounts seized and the destruction of our first-world lifestyle.
Since this is actually the only person that have found that can say something good about Obamacare this story has been reported in hundreds of publications throughout the country. An internet search shows that there is a 61 year old Harland Hiram Matthews and his 60 year old wife Deborah who live in Marion, Arkansas and they have a phone in the 870 area code. They have a 38 year old daughter, Angie and a 33 year old daughter Holley. They previously lived in Sherwood, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee.
