Obamacare has been far more frustrating than Id ever dreamed.
Obamacare brought us new health insurance options, but cost us our more affordable plans.
You will keep your health insurance, President Obama promised in 2012.
The fact that this wasnt true would be our biggest disappointment. 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.
The individual plan I had with Blue Cross was canceled, too.
2) We learned patience, but we couldnt keep our doctors.
The only way to decrease the cost of our premiums was to get the subsidy offered by the federal government to lower- and middle-income people. And the only way to get the subsidy was by getting insurance through Covered California. But contacting Covered California, especially by phone, was maddening. The elevator music they played on hold became our winter soundtrack.
We had applied online and sent copies of our passports to California Covered for verification, but we received no bill, no confirmation of our coverage, no insurance cards. Jim spent an hour and a half on hold once before getting disconnected. He tried again the next day, waiting another two hours before getting disconnected.
After a few more calls, Jim drove to a pop-up Covered California shop in the Laguna Hills Mall on Jan. 15, 2014, the deadline for adding coverage. He hoped to avoid website computer glitches and phone hang-ups. All we had were verbal assurances, which were not enough to see the cardiologist and a urologist at the insurance-negotiated rate. R

And here they are....
Check out the body language:
Guy on left: clenching face in anguish
Lady: hand clenched, red face.
Well said!
Words fail me.....
Isn’t she suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?
RIP and good luck Dinsdale!
(to self.....this sure is better than Polar Bear Hunting...easier on the knuckles.....just a few taps on the keyboard sends them spinning straight to the hospice...)
“Catherine Keefe is an essayist, poet, editor, and writing instructor at Chapman University in Orange, California.”
Doesn’t mention but I’ll add she’s an ignorant fool to boot
and from California. That figures. And these worthless dregs
are moving to Texas in droves.
these people are suffering from battered-wife syndrome.
battered obama-supporter syndrome...?
Notice she starts out “I’m an Obama supporter”. She didn’t say “I USED to be an Obama supporter.”
Fog clearing from those liberal eyes there, babe? Tough about that butthurt, ain’t it.
Nope. I know some of these assclowns and NO amount of evidence will change their view. Delusional!
Consider it reparations for your white privilege, honky.
Grubercrat = stupid Democrat...nice try at coining a new phrase but its already a given that Democrat means stupid.
What kind of total idiot has a small business and supports Odumbo?
A masochist and sadist — against her family no less.
Marxists suck.
This is the same damn mentality that gave Hitler the power to kill millions.
“You voted for these people. Youre one of Grubers stupid people.”
My sentiments exactly.
I wish there is a LIKE button. :)
“Im an Obama supporter. But Obamacare has hurt my family.”
The ignorance of that statement is astounding. That’s like a German in the 1930’s saying she’s a Hitler supporter, though she didn’t really care for the war or what Hitler was doing to the Jews.
It’s “Progressives” like Catherine Keefe that Jon Gruber was referring to as the stupid voters that had to be mislead, because we conservatives knew Obama was lying all along and everything that has happened with Obamacare is exactly what we knew and SAID was going to happen. That’s the real irony about Jon Gruber: the only people that needed to be mislead were Obama’s own true believers. True believers like Catherine Keefe, who no doubt can’t wait to vote for Hillary or Elizabeth Warren, at least those ones who manage to survive Obamacare.
