Betrayed by the President and ObamaCare

ObamaCare was supposed to help me.

That’s all I could think as I sat in the House of Representatives last Tuesday night as the guest of my congresswoman, only a few hundred feet away from President Obama as he gave his State of the Union address. Four years ago, I’d have been there cheering for ObamaCare’s passage. But the real ObamaCare has made my life a nightmare.

I suffer from a difficult chronic illness called lupus, an autoimmune disease with devastating symptoms that strike when you least expect them. At age 40, my life is filled with visits to doctors, specialists and the emergency room. While paying for this care is expensive, I have no other choice.

Prior to ObamaCare, I bought my health insurance through CoverTN, a program run by the state of Tennessee. The coverage was perfectly suited to my unique medical condition. It offered me low premiums, a low deductible and low co-pays for my regular trips to doctors and specialists. This plan was perfect for someone with my unique medical condition and limited financial means.

My plan was canceled last fall. According to the regulators behind ObamaCare, it was a subpar plan that should no longer be sold to consumers. Another 16,000 Tennesseans on the same plan were similarly dumped. Many, like me, liked their plans and wanted to keep them.

My supply of sympathy, while vast, is still limited, and cannot be wasted on anyone who voted for this President, or supported Obama care.

You knew, or should have known, what a disaster both would be, and supported them anyway.

Tough scabs,

It doesn’t surprise me that the sole thought on the main screen of your mind involved YOU YOU YOU. That’s how something like obozocare get traction in the first place.

“It’s also not what you promised me when I voted for you, Mr. President.”

Uh oh. I think I see the real problem here.

Obama is a modern-day Otter from Animal House:

Emilie, you effed up. You trusted us!

Poor Emilie, she just found out that elections do have consequences.

Here is the problem summed up nice and neat.

My next door neighbor, a flaming lib in denial finally came around and said Obama was a nightmare and something has to be done in 2016 to change this country back.

Sunday, on the back window of their hybrid SUV was a bumper sticker. “we are ready for Hillary in 2016.”

You can’t fix stupid.
