Last week, the RNC launched GOP.com/TellUs, where those impacted by ObamaCare can share their stories and even upload pictures of letters canceling their coverage, pink slips from employers, or screenshots of healthcare.gov glitches.
Responses have come pouring in from people who have been hurt by ObamaCare and by the president’s lies.
Here’s some of what they’re saying.
Lisa A. of Maryland writes, “I loved my primary care provider, but they could no longer afford to stay in business due to Obamacare and had to sell out to a corporate entity. They are now only keeping 450 of their former patients, and charging a yearly ‘retainer.’ It is called ‘Concierge Care.’ They wanted $1600 per year for the privilege of being their patient. I can't afford that!”
Steve H. of Michigan lost his plan and is now forced to pay more. “Our insurance (that we liked, thank you very much Mr. President) was cancelled. We paid $266 a month for a policy that WE LIKED. The Obamacare plan we were offered is over 600 a month, with a 12,000 dollar deductible! This is ‘affordable’ health care?!”
Heather H. of Texas shares, “I'm 36 years old and have had the same doctor my entire life. My doctor decided to retire early as she could no longer afford to keep her office open due to the new healthcare reforms.”
David W. of Washington says, “My wife and I were very pleased with our plan. Several weeks ago we received a letter from our carrier…that the plan will be terminated on 1/1/14 because it did not comply with ACA. Current premiums are $647/mo for the two of us. They want to ‘transition’ us into a compliant plan that will cost almost $1300/ yr.”
Brett H. of West Virginia writes, “My family’s medical insurance rate will triple if I get the best coverage my employer is offering. This plan is still inferior to the plans offered last year due to the restructuring my employer had to do because of Obamacare.”
Nathan C. of North Carolina says, “I am a student in college. My parents are both teachers. My father and I had insurance with a certain blue-colored company, while my mother, who is employed by the state, is covered by her job’s insurance. On October 1, our insurance costs tripled because of Obamacare.”
Michael L. of Georgia shares the story of his new small business. “Earlier this year, I started a business. We're small, but hopeful. I have been paying for medical coverage for my family through a Humana policy that I had found through an insurance brokerage. We just received the ‘letter’ telling us that Affordable Care Act was necessitating a change in coverage. Either we stay with [our] current policy (and pay about 30% more for the same coverage - and we can only do this for one year) or move to an ‘ACA-compliant’ plan which will be nearly triple what we've been paying.”
These are just a few of many, many stories. President Obama promised you could “keep your plan” and “keep your doctor.” Every day, more Americans are discovering that was a lie as they lose their plans, lose their doctors, and are forced to pay more for health insurance. That’s certainly not “affordable care.”
Reince and repeat.

No matter how we reform healthcare, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan, no matter what. Period.
Another lie exposed! Sideshow Carney said that Zer0 couldn’t go back in time. ;^)
1. You can keep your Doctor.
2. You can keep your insurance.
3. You can fire Reince Priebus.
His time machine is called the TARDIS.
Totally Asinine Ridiculously Dumb Irredeemably Stupid.
Dr. Wut?
Mr. Priebus,
You need to put talking points together for the Repubs that are simply stating that Obama lied. And, every time a Repub gets in front of a camera or microphone they need to start out with Obama lied, what is he lying about now, what else did he lie about.
Destroy his credibility and attach any Democrat to Obama.
Freeze it; polarize it, ridicule it.
Obama lied, people died.
I concur 100 Percent!
suggested treatment.....Retirement....
time frame IMMEDIATE
But that would be mean and get republicans’ wives uninvited from DC cocktail parties, resulting in strife and privation of marital relations at home.
Nope, won’t do it.
Of course they knew. They preferred to lie in order to get it passed.
Yes.
Obamacare is planned, just like the planned famine by the Russians to eliminate the Ukrainians.
Possibly.
