Obamacare's winners and losers
h/t InstapunditCindy 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. ..."Of course, I want people to have health care," Vinson said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally." Says it all, doesn't it? Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2013-10-08 |
