So Today I was in a fashion forward boutique in S.Cal.

I was shopping and in walked a couple close to 60 yrs. of age and started complaining to the owner about their premiums going up because of Obamacare..I wonder how many independent insurance brokers are using Obamacare as the reason why their client’s rates are going up... For the past 5 years my girl friend and I (55,58,) experienced at least 15-20% increases from Anthem Blue Cross..When questioning the broker back then about these huge increases they simply had few answers..”Just the cost of Insurance when you reach the age bracket you're in”..

Well today they have an answer and it’s Obamacare... Just wonder..How many thousands of lies are retold every day concerning the ACA by independent insurance brokers..Its understandable of course, they are in fear of finances as well as everyone else, but it is such a shame that for the first time in our nations history the country has taken a small step towards Universal Healthcare and how desperately the industry is pushing back..

Incidentally, I was so pissed off at this couple ( My girlfriend was able to get on the expanded medicaid program in Cali, which saved her close to 500 a month) that I almost intervened, but I was so pissed, I thought better of it.. I’m not good at defending the Pres. when I’m pissed off..
