With millions of Americans receiving Obamacare-induced health insurance cancellation letters, several of President Barack Obama’s supporters are experiencing sticker shock and expressing regret.
“I was really shocked,” said Colorado Obamacare supporter Cathy Wagner upon receiving her cancellation notice. “All of my hopes were sort of dashed. Oh my gosh, President Obama, this is not what we hoped for, it’s not what we were told.”
Wagner says the same coverage will now cost her and her husband 35% more and that they will have a higher deductible.
“Our premium for next year is going up to over $1,000 a month for two of us and we’re two fairly healthy individuals,” said Wagner.
Wagner is not alone. According to the Colorado Division of Insurance, 250,000 people in Colorado have already lost their health plans in the last few months.
Obama supporters on the West Coast are experiencing similar surprises. In San Francisco, husband and wife Lee Hammack and JoEllen Brothers, who describe themselves as “cradle Democrats,” were alarmed when they received their insurance cancelation notice informing them that their previous $550 monthly premium would now be almost $1,300, their deductible would be higher, they would pay higher hospital costs, and their out-of-pocket maximum would increase.

Someone needs to follow Lee and JoEllen and make sure dems don't give them a 'special deal' while charging conservatives the higher price.
Also, care is worse - networks are smaller - it’s not just higher prices and lies.
I heard that from a liberal today... she was saying this is all being caused by the insurance companies.
They voted for it; don’t stop it. It’s time to learn the hard way.
Correct. They are seeing an offer to purchase from their same insurance company, outside of the exchanges.
their minds won’t blow at single payer. it’s free then. my mind will blow.
Why do we see the same five stories, over and over again? Aren’t there thousands, if not millions, of Obama voter victims of Obamacare? Can’t the media do a little digging?

Of course. So many have absolutely NO understanding of the free market.
“We just didn’t realize that, unless we had health insurance at work, we’d be the ones paying for it.”
Spoken like a true socialist: I thought someone else besides myself would be paying for everybody’s free stuff.
“How do these folks know what the cost is if the website isn’t working?”
Some of the states sites are sort of working.
If you promoted it you deserve to lose your insurance!
In truth you deserve to die destitute and starving in a gutter.
I agree, and said similar long before Obama or Obamacare.
Liberals support government policy that will result in death and destruction for millions of people. Their cognitive disconnect is that all those millions will not include themselves.
It is in part caused by the insurance companies. (Blues) Those that are participating in the exchanges (Blues — non profits) are cancelling to align themselves with the govt program and reap the benefits. Higher premiums for them — rebates to the enrollees. Everyone is happy. The for profits (non Blues) are not cancelling as far as i know and did not participate. I’m waiting for their adds on TV “ we didn’t cancel your policy — if you like it you can keep it. I think they are still stunned by the topography.
bama loves the double cross
The politburo class of Progressives think that but the useful idiot class don’t think anyone will be hurt much less themselves. They think we will all live in peace and harmony and perfect health if “we all just work together!” Of course their idea of work is not having a job doing something productive it’s just going along with program. The great utopian program. They desperately need to talk to some Ukrainians about that. A lot of Chinese know the score too but they don’t like to talk about it.
If a Video of Obama drowning kittens turned up, these Useful Idiots would be ordering “Drowning Kittens for Dummies” off of Amazon.com.
Stupid libs!
Let’s have a movement to institute the same level and extent of government interference in the nation’s life that the Founders rebelled against in the days of King George and bask in a degree of liberty unparalleled since before Lincoln.
Thanks for posting this. I wonder if these low information voters will move to the conservative side like they did after Jimmy Carter sent this country into a “malaise”.
To all the Obamanoids out there: You asked for it, you got it, Toyota!!!
