Obama Won’t Let Me Keep My Crappy Health Care

[Playinghardball]

Whenever he has been promoting Obamacare, President Obama has always said, “If you like your current plan, you can keep it.” Under my current health care plan, I pay a premium that I can afford and now, because that plan doesn’t qualify for the minimum coverage required by Obamacare, my insurance company sent me a letter saying that they are ending that plan. That is not fair, it makes me sick to think I supported Obamacare… though unfortunately my current plan won’t cover that.

…. Some people have asked me, why would I want to keep a health insurance plan that provides little to no benefits to me and if ever needed, could evade covering me and bankrupt me and I explain to them, “It was a bargain!”

…. in this increasingly tyrannical government, I suppose I have no choice but to pay more for health insurance than I was paying just to get it to provide me with something in return.

1. I heard a guy on Randi Rhodes who said he moved to another state...

and he was angry he didn't get to keep his insurance because "Obama said so"!

Laughed my ass off!

2. Argh...

I almost fired off a serious response to this before making it further into the article and picking up on the satire!


"The main cause for bankruptcies in the US is due to health care debts. Has Obama or any of his Admin considered how hard the economy would be hit by an avalanche of unemployment in the bankruptcy attorney sector? Of course not.

Or have they considered the cost to society of healthier citizens? The longer lines at Jamba Juice and more senior citizens at the park in spandex? Is that a future we really want to see?"


tee hee...

3. "Obamacare is taking away my right to pay Aetna $600 a year for absolutely nothing in return!

They're taking away my liberteeeeeee!!!!!!!"
