| Daring to Complain About Obamacare |
| 2013-11-13 |
| We will be seeing a lot of these reports in days to come as leftist pukes like this female realizes that sometimes a leftist agenda means you will pay out the nose for it, with your own money. From the The Other Perfesser... THE Anthem Blue Cross representative who answered my call told me that there was a silver lining in the cancellation of my individual P.P.O. policy and the $5,400 annual increase that I would have to pay for the Affordable Care Act-compliant option: now if I have Stage 4 cancer or need a sex-change operation, I'd be covered regardless of pre-existing conditions. Never mind that the new provider network would eliminate coverage for my and my son's long-term doctors and hospitals. The Anthem rep cheerily explained that despite the company's -- I paraphrase -- draconian rates and limited network, my benefits, which also include maternity coverage (handy for a 46-year-old), would "be actually much richer." I, of course, would be actually much poorer. And it was this aspect of the bum deal that, to my surprise, turned out to be a very unpopular thing to gripe about. "Obamacare or Kafkacare?" I posted on Facebook as soon as I hung up with Anthem. I vented about the call and wrote that the president should be protecting the middle class, not making our lives substantially harder. For extra sympathy, I may have thrown in the fact that I'm a single mom. (O.K., I did.) Then I sat back and waited for the love to pour in. Or at least the "like." Lots of likes. After all, I have 1,037 Facebook friends. Surely, they'd commiserate. Except that they didn't. More at the link Lori Gottlieb's Wikipedia page |

| #9 #5 What if I don't want a sex change operation? I paid $125,000 for her son's gender reassignment. I paid $ 55,000 for the new Lexus she asked for. I spent $35,000 on her new kitchen. I spent $17,000 on her boob job. I want to spend $100. for a BJ, and she goes ballistic. |

| #7 John - Prohibition was once the Law of the Land, and it passed by a much larger margin than O'care. |

| #6 So another Liberal gets some schooling in reality. I doubt she learns anything from it. |

| #5 What if I don't want a sex change operation? What if my wife doesn't need pregnancy benefits because she has had a hysterectomy? Suppose my daughter only needs a policy covering catastrophic situations because she is young and healthy? Abortion coverage? Can we choose to abort this healthcare law and choose something else; something reasonable? |
