KirtFalcon Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 October 7, 2013 ObamaCare: 'I was Laughing at Boehner, Until the Mail Came Today'Chris Banescu It's finally dawning on liberals, leftists, and progressives that conservatives were telling the truth when they warned about the fundamental problems and dangers of The 'Affordable' Care Act (ObamaCare). As reported in the San Jose Mercury News, reality came knocking for Obama voters and ObamaCare supporters last week. And many of them wish they had not answered the door. Big believers in ObamaCare are experiencing sticker shock. These folks voted not once, but twice for President Obama. They believed the propaganda that ObamaCare will lower prices and the people will keep their existing plans. They're now seeing that Obama lied. Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to say they helped elect and re-elect President Barack Obama. Yet, like many other Bay Area residents who pay for their own medical insurance, they were floored last week when they opened their bills: Their policies were being replaced with pricier plans that conform to all the requirements of the new health care law. Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more a year for an individual policy, while Waschura, of Portola Valley, will cough up almost $10,000 more for insurance for his family of four. The former laughter and ridicule heaped at the GOP has turned to silence. It turns out that Republicans were right after all. They tried doing the right thing for all the American people, despite being demonized and viciously attacked. "I was laughing at Boehner -- until the mail came today," Waschura said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican charge to defund Obamacare. "I really don't like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so #### about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family's pocket each year, that's otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy." As Winston Churchill so wisely observed, "socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Maybe, just maybe, some Democrats will now see that ObamaCare is a disaster and was designed to fail. It's a Trojan Horse meant to destroy the private health insurance market and force America into a socialist, government single-payer system. Yes, the same model that always brings worse quality of care, less choices, soaring costs, and rationing of care for everyone. As so many other countries have learned, when it comes to socialized medicine there's no such thing as a free lunch.

DaveTV1 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'd really like to know if this is true. We have truly haven't tested the waters with Obamacare. I want to see what many of my friends and co-workers say in the next 3 months. If Obamacare is what many of us expect it to be, then the people will rise against it. There's nothing that people can't stand is someone taking money out of their wallet, the only thing worse that they can't stand is having their wallet stolen. If peoples premiums go down, there will be millions that are praising it, if they go up the Democrats will never elect another politician to any position in Washington. This is the Democrats coup de grace, either against the Republican Party or themselves. I personally think the poor will turn against the Democrats, because they'll actually lose money. Many of the poor depend on their Income Tax check to purchase clothes for their children, make auto repairs, buy something that they've been wanting for a while, and pay off loans. That will all be taken away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think the dims will end up giving the poor folks the money to buy the stuff except they won't receive cash payments to pay for it they will just pay the premiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think the dims will end up giving the poor folks the money to buy the stuff except they won't receive cash payments to pay for it they will just pay the premiums. From what I heard from one of my friends today, even with the high deductible it's not going to help her family out. She's recently divorced with two young sons and a daughter. She's back in college to get a better job to support her and her family. Our families have been friends since I was born, and I was one of her grandmothers pall bearers. So, we're not just mere acquaintances. She said she wished she hadn't signed up for it, because now she's stuck with it. While she does get child support, this is going to take a lot of money out of her budget, to pay her premiums. I'm not sure who she voted for in the 2012 election, but I have a feeling it wasn't Romney, and now she's mad about Obamacare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Obamacare sticker shock is really going to erode the dimocrat advantage with women and younger voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think there has to be some big time freebees in here for someone. If those folks who voted for Obama for medical care has to pay a lot out of pocket they might not be happy....
