Todd Blome's phone has been ringing off the hook this week with clients seeking tax advice after learning they'll get a "shocking increase" in their health insurance premiums when Obamacare's health insurance exchanges begin operating.
Letters have been landing in mailboxes all over Nebraska explaining the impact Obamacare will have on people who buy insurance coverage on their own, rather than through work.
Blome, a Lincoln accountant, understands: He got a letter, too.
Blue Cross Blue Shield Nebraska informed Blome his health care plan will terminate at year's end, and if he wants to move to a similar plan his new premium will go up 65 percent, costing him nearly $4,000 more per year.
He distinctly remembers President Obama looking into TV cameras and assuring Americans they would be able to keep their doctors, and policies.
His letter says otherwise.

Yet the GOP will do anything to keep from offending a Democrat, or offer any superior alternative.
Yeah but let us not forget that Obamacare made it out of committee because of one Republican, Olympia Snowe. Like so many things Republicans often make bad Democrat ideas easier to get traction. We wouldn’t have the EPA, the Department of Ed, or Obamacare without the ground work laid by GOP like the ones hating on Senator Cruz.
Oh I know you understand this, I just wish more on FR would.
I was watching the original “Spartacus” and was thinking how close we are to a slave revolt.
The Political Class and Patrician Class united against the mob. Known in that time as “Plebs”
Plebs are both Democrats and Republicans.
Merely anecdotal.
And this from an accountant. Sometimes the stupid is so strong it burns.
at least conservatives are principled...at least pubs have values and don't just tow the company line...
but every single Rat senator voted along company lines....
they know the creep in chief is a fraud...they know the fed is making money out of thin air...they know SS and Medicare are crumbling and not sustainable at all...they know that illegals just take jobs from Americans....they know that the people in Benghazi were lead to the slaughter...
THEY KNOW IT ALL.....and there is no excuse...
if they know these few things, and not a thing more, and they vote rat....they are not conservative....
I respectfully suggest you get out and talk and listen to non-conservatives not living in DC.
I’ve got a bunch of Democrat friends including my twin nieces who simply have never heard the conservative story.
Back in 2010, my friends in CA had never even heard of the Tea Party as the CA media refuses to report on it unless its bad news.
My best friend is a non-religious conservative.
She keeps waiting for the GOP to come up with a real financial plan that doesn’t require her to believe in God.
Do I shun my best friend because she doesn’t believe in God?
Do I refuse to talk to my nieces because they voted for Obama?
Conservative purity works for FR because JimRob runs the show and its his masterpiece.
It doesn’t work in the real world.
