San Francisco architect Lee Hammack says he and his wife, JoEllen Brothers, are “cradle Democrats.” They have donated to the liberal group Organizing for America and worked the phone banks a year ago for President Obama’s re-election.
Since 1995, Hammack and Brothers have received their health coverage from Kaiser Permanente, where Brothers worked until 2009 as a dietician and diabetes educator. “We’ve both been in very good health all of our lives – exercise, don’t smoke, drink lightly, healthy weight, no health issues, and so on,” Hammack told me.
The couple — Lee, 60, and JoEllen, 59 — have been paying $550 a month for their health coverage — a plan that offers solid coverage, not one of the skimpy plans Obama has criticized. But recently, Kaiser informed them the plan would be canceled at the end of the year because it did not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The couple would need to find another one. The cost would be around double what they pay now, but the benefits would be worse.
“From all of the sob stories I’ve heard and read, ours is the most extreme,” Lee told me in an email last week. . . .

Boo-f’n-hoo-they made their bed and deserve to lie in it, but unfortunately there were enough of them to vote so the rest of have to, as well. We need a current issues test for potential voters so that the uninformed can’t cast a ballot.
According to the “expert” on Fox last night, this is false, does not happen, etc. Wonder if the can see the Pyramids from De Nile.
“they implored their dear leaders for an exception for themselves: “
And this is how Democrats will keep them on the hook, always promising to “make it BETTER!”. And they will swallow the load, whole, because to not do so might get them kicked out of the Cool People’s Club.

They should keep themselves better informed:
California woman could die due to President Obama's Affordable Health Care Act
Stage-4 cancer patient has her insurance canceled in order to make way for Obamacare
“...We’re not changing our views because of this situation...” so says the couple shafted by the Democrat’s ACA.
If they changed their views, changed who they support, they would have to admit that the perceived moral superiority of being “Liberal!” was false. And that would harm their egos, and get them ostracized from local society.
I’m sure there’s an exemption out there for the Obama faithfuls who donated and campaigned and all that good stuff... After all, is that who the exemptions are for?
““We believe that the Act is good for health care, the economy, & the future of our nation”
Can’t fix stupid.

We live in N California where probably 70% of the non medi Cal population are Kaiser patients.
Late last month we started hearing stories like this one or ones where the patients weren’t cancelled, they were told of big price increases coming their way in 2014. Higher co-pays, higher rx costs, higher deductibles and higher monthly rates.
Of course with our Savant Mediots in the media, this reality is being kept quiet and not apparerently not investigated.
If the Obama administration could find a way to take their good health, and re-distribute it to the fat slobs, they would do it.
Things like this is what they voted for, My FRiend. Not once but twice. Now that they are finally getting what they voted for, they are crying like babies. They also ridiculed and mocked those who tried to warn them. Hell with them, let them cry.
They voted for this, so now live with it.
You're old. You're white. You're expendable.
I've used you for what I need you. Now, get out of the way and die and make room for the third worlders I'm inviting to take your place.
Sincerely,
BO
California is learning what the cost of COMMUNISM is. The Happy Hippy Liberals will have to cut down on those Napa dinners, and Russian River reds.
THIS IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR YOU EFFING CRADLE SOCIALIST MORONS!!!!
WE WERE WARNING YOU FOR YEARS BEFOREHAND ABOUT THIS - YOU CALLED US RACIST AND EXTREMIST!!!
STEW IN IT YOU COMMIE HIPPIE BASTARDS!!!
They chose it.
And once they nationalize healthcare, those names on the TEA Party list will find that they have to wait months for those medical procedures they need while the Obama donors skip ahead to the front of the line.
Eventually, we will get to a point where we have progressive water fountains and TEA Party water fountains. TEA Party people will have to ride on the back of the bus (if they're even let on the bus at all). To make things simpler, TEA Party people will have to wear yellow six-pointed stars on the front of their clothing with a big brown 'T' in the middle. Eventually, they will begin to open up re-education camps for those T-star-wearers until they can come up with a more final solution . . .
(And people in 1932 said this would never happen)
Spoiled brats.
