It is an uncomfortable position for many members of the creative classes to be in. “We are the Obama people,” said Camille Sweeney, a New York writer and member of the Authors Guild. Her insurance is being canceled, and she is dismayed that neither her pediatrician nor her general practitioner appears to be on the exchange plans. What to do has become a hot topic on Facebook and at dinner parties frequented by her fellow writers and artists. “I’m for it,” she said. “But what is the reality of it?”

Cue Fats Domino and "Ain't That a Shame" . . .

There are not enough examples being provided of Stage IV Cancer patients who have had to suffer needless anxiety and additional scheduling of their time to this abomination which has upset their excellent treatment being provided by doctors and hospitals and being paid for by the patients' own private insurance.

Shameful, and unforgivable acts by every Democrat who first voted for the Trojan Horse for redistribution called ACA, and then voted again to defeat the Republican measure which warned of and would have prevented these cancellations!

Not one of the Dems should escape personal blame for each patient whose life is being negatively impacted.

HA HA!!!!

Where is the bully from the Simpsons?

[Jim Scott]

Boo Hoo. They wanted Obama and thought giving 'accessibility' to health insurance to everyone in America, regardless of cost, was a great idea. Now that it negatively affects them, they are singing a different tune. Tough. "If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance. Period." Guess what? Obama lied to you. Reality bites.

From the NYT article:

“I’m for it,” she said. “But what is the reality of it?”

A finer example of bento box-like compartmentalized logic and denial can't be found. You ain't seen nothin' yet, babycakes.

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few...bones...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I love it I love it I love. I use to live in that p*sshole of a city, grew up there and finally got wise and moved out last year. Best decision I ever made. EVERY week for a year before the election Obama was there for fundraisers....And he would always come during rush hour. 9am or 5pm backing up traffic for miles. All these freakin’ liberal slimebags holding fundraisers for him and now they are getting it up the ASS! lol lol

[BlueStateRightist]

Don’t worry. They’ll have their communist new mayor to rescue them from the evil insurance companies.

Thank you so much for posting this. I can’t believe the NYT is printing inconvenient truth.

Yes, when you actually bite into the crap sandwich of Liberalism vs. just seeing it on TV, it sucks.

“I’m for it,” she said. “But what is the reality of it?”

Uh, why wouldn’t you determine what the “reality” of it is before you decide you’re for it?

This woman deserves everything she has coming to her & more.

[Parley Baer]

I love how a story like this has a happy ending. Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

Ms. Meinwald, the lawyer, said she was a lifelong Democrat who still supported better health care for all, but had she known what was in store for her, she would have voted for Mitt Romney.

The money quote!

Might as well add, "We are the stupid people."

[steel_resolve]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Mamzelle]

Do the Schadenfreude, dude!! (dance, dance, fist pumping, hip bumping!!)

Oh, the Blasio voters suffer, suffer, suffer...

[US Navy Vet]

“New York Professionals”, SWIVE(look it up) YOU ALL, Your WORTHLESS “City(CESSPOOL)” and Your Equally Worthless STATE! WALLOW IN WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED!

[jimbo123]

Does she really think Romney would’ve stopped Obamacare? What a fool.

Exactly!

[Night Hides Not]

Smug liberal turds getting what they asked for.

According to Sebelius, they should be thrilled to be getting more benefits than under their old plans.
