Tragic: Young mother forced to choose between Obamacare premiums and feeding family

[Little-Acorn]

The Obamacare fanatics have yet to answer the question they used to ask conservatives:

"How will the families that have to suddenly come up with thousands of dollars extra for Obamacare, pay for it? What parts of their family budget is government forcing them to cut, to pay the increased costs of Obamacare mandated by the administration?"

For more and more people, it's not just an academic exercise. They've been stretching their budgets to keep everything covered: Paying the rent, buying food, keeping the lights on, buying clothes for their kids, etc. Now, suddenly, they find they have to pay thousands more, often for less health coverage than they used to have. Which of those other things must they cut, to get the money that government has MANDATED they pay?

Tragic: Young Mother Forced to Choose Between Obamacare Premiums and Feeding Family

Guy Benson | Oct 11, 2013

The Obama administration will rely on emotional anecdotes and incomplete data to help defend their signature law -- once its websites are fixed and people can actually enroll, that is. Critics will counter with reams of statistics proving that Obamacare violates its core promises. While empirical evidence is indispensable, it's also critical to showcase real people who are being actively harmed by the law. Meet this young, disabled mother from Allentown, Pennsylvania:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k_ikgQCKilw]WFMZ-PA: ObamaCare Forces A Mother To Choose Between Insurance Or Putting Food On Table - YouTube[/ame]

"It would take food out of our mouths to be able to afford these coverages."

Heartbreaking. Obamacare will force this woman, her husband and their five-year-old son to choose between obtaining coverage and putting food on the table. The law's "affordable" premiums will hike the family's bills by hundreds of dollars compared to their current plan. They can't afford the change, so a desperate decision awaits.

This is why so many Americans have forcefully opposed Obamacare for so long. It's not about "hating" the president. It's not about racial animus. It's not about protecting the rich. It has nothing to do with any of the red herrings proponents toss out to sully and impugn opponents' motives. The truth is that this law hurts people, breaks virtually all of the major promises upon which it was sold, and is simply unaffordable to a federal government that's already facing a long-term debt crisis.

Of course ObamaCare hurts people....as do most Big Government Programs designed to Control The Population.

Pubcrappe- It doesn't need payment until next March, and I'm guessing they'll get free Medicaid- unless they live in a stupid red state- or their payment will be next to nothing...stop listening to BS...

 

[Mr. H.]

She should consult with @LaughingReaper. He'll straighten it out.

Pubcrappe- It doesn't need payment until next March, and I'm guessing they'll get free Medicaid- unless they live in a stupid red state- or their payment will be next to nothing...stop listening to BS...

Remarkable.

This person knows nothing about her situation, and so makes random guess slanted in favor of his own liberal agenda, calls the article names, even calls her state names, call the entire thing names.....

....and then tells us not to listen to OTHER PEOPLE'S BS !!!


You have to wonder if he ever stops admiring his own pronouncements, long enough to notice how silly they are.

 

[The Rabbi]

Obama doesn't care about poor people.

Pubcrappe- It doesn't need payment until next March, and I'm guessing they'll get free Medicaid- unless they live in a stupid red state- or their payment will be next to nothing...stop listening to BS...

What's that? I can't understand you...your voice is muffled, what with your mouth full of Obama's shit.

Sounded like "It's yummy!"

 

[LoneLaugher]

I call bullshit.

 

[daveman]

I call bullshit.

Of course you do.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

I call bullshit.

If you didn't they would revoke your Obama Zombie membership and you would never get those brains they promised.

 

[LoneLaugher]

There is no way that a family that is struggling to pay bills/ eat well....on a fixed income, disabled...and with a five year old...will pay $900 plus per month for insurance in PA on the exchange.

She is either misinformed or lying.

Have a little common sense.

 

[francoHFW]

Any actual argument, dingbats- I KNOW IT'S TOUGH WHEN ALL YOU KNOW IS FEAR MONGERING Pubcrappe.

IF her family earns less than 25k- less than 130 per cent of poverty line-, free medicaid- if she earns less than 50k, pays very little, with subsidies up to 400 per cent of poverty line. There, now you know more than all the other hater dupes...duh

Thanks for injecting facts into the latest "sky is falling" thread from the right wing loons.

She doesn't know what she is talking about....

first, if she and her husband are both on disability, then her and her husband should already have their healthcare needs taken care of with Medicaid.....and more than likely her child is covered by medicaid as well....

but if for some off the wall reason that she and her husband make more than +/-$80,000 dollars a year as a family of 3, she would get no help from the federal government on the exchange....

Why is she on the exchange to get insurance in the first place if she already has insurance coverage that IS ONLY $200 and something a month for her family?????

the whole thing smells rotten as can be, for anyone that even remotely understands the healthcare law....

People on disability are already on medicaid, she's lying or she is clueless, you pick....

If she would just push her momma off the cliff, she could collect the insurance and live happily ever after.
