Obamacare has been far more frustrating than Id ever dreamed.
Obamacare brought us new health insurance options, but cost us our more affordable plans.

In November 2013, Jim learned his small-business policy would be canceled because it didnt comply with the new mandate to cover pediatric dentistry and maternity care. So Jim went to Covered California, the states health insurance exchange, to look for coverage for his employee and himself.

“Im an Obama supporter. But Obama has hurt my family.”
Fixed for ya!
Sorry, no sympathy from me. The lies behind this hyperpartisan cramdown were obvious from the start. You voted for these people. You’re one of Gruber’s stupid people.
Oh, I've seen those.
You may support Obama, but he doesn’t support you.
Hey...Catherine

What’s the phrase? The Stupid - it hurts?

Look at it this way. Just a little payback from the Kenyan and his ‘RATS for that “white privilege” thingy.

Then you deserve the pain. Karma is like that. Those of us who didn't buy the Gruber smoke screen don't deserve it.
Nah, he won’t, he will support his Messiah. Still see Obama stickers on cars here in LA..in a way Gruber was right, you can’t fix stupid and liberals are beyond stupid
Her LIB tears are delicious. Bwaaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaaa.

That’s what happens when you fall for the Free Stuff pitch from the dems who will steal you blind and while telling you “there’s nothing to see here”. Useful idiots are the downfall of the country.
