(CNN) - Jessica Sanford, the Washington State woman cited by President Barack Obama as an Obamacare success story, received more bad news Tuesday. Officials with the state's health exchange checked on her case and said she will not qualify for assistance in buying insurance.

Sanford had written the White House last month after purchasing what she thought was affordable health care coverage on the Washington state insurance exchange.

Part of her message was read by the President at a Rose Garden event at the a White House on October 21.

But in the days that followed that presidential shout-out, Sanford received letters from Washington state's insurance exchange, notifying her she did not qualify for a tax credit she was originally told she would be getting.

After looking into Sanford's matter, officials with the exchange admit they made a mistake calculating her benefits, along with those for thousands of other Washington state residents.

I am surprised that she can breathe on her own.

Please, not all pimps are worthless. Some actually have value. Barry, on the other hand, is about as welcome and charming as a serial axe murderer. It's the results that count and he is absolutely despicable.

I heard she thought her penalty was now going to be $95, but in reality it would be $500 this year and $1000 next year. Wait until she finds that out!!!
