Loyal Obama Supporters, Canceled by Obamacare

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. . . .

“We believe that the Act is good for health care, the economy, & the future of our nation. However, ACA options for middle income individuals ages 59 & 60 are unaffordable. We’re learning that many others are similarly affected. In that spirit we ask that you fix this, for all of our sakes,” he and Brothers wrote.”

Pelosi won't say it to their face, but an Eric Stratton moment from Animal House is coming after the 62' 4 door Continental Convertible of Flounder was trashed, "Face it Flounder you ****ed up, you trusted us"...

But Pelosi is metaphorically saying "shut up and take it", that won't go well with many of these spoiled boomers....

They would never abandon their socialist God. The sacrifices they pay absolve them (in their own minds) of all sins.

Without a MAJOR repentance, revival and reformation of thoughts, attitudes, and character and a new fear of the Lord, we are lost. If a majority of people, or even a bare 50% of people in this country are lost, selfish, and worshipping the socialist God and believing in the socialist religion**, our country will continue electing godless, depraved, criminals who will use that socialist religion to continue to gain power for themselves.

** I define the Socialist religion as this:

IF I force others around me by law to pay for poor people’s healthcare, “save the planet” with green environmentalism, force others to give up their money to give EBT cards to welfare mamas, fight “racism” by forcing other people to hire minorities even when they aren’t qualified,

THEN I am absolved of my sins of unbelief, abortion, perversion, divorcing my husband or wife when a better deal comes along, abandoning my responsibilities as a father or mother, blasphemy, etc. and I am now a good person. I get to do whatever I want as long as I fight to make other people (mainly Christians and conservatives), to give up their time and money to fight the all the politically correct social evils.

Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
