On Thursday, the government's official Obamacare Facebook page was riddled with people expressing sticker shock over the government's high cost premiums after struggling for hours to wade through the technical failures vexing Obamacare exchanges all across the country.
"I am so disappointed," wrote one woman. "These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!" The comment received 169 "likes."
"There is NO WAY I can afford it," said one commenter after using the Kaiser Subsidy Calculator. "Heck right now I couldn't afford an extra 10$ [sic] a month...and oh apparently I make to [sic] much at 8.55/hour to get subsidies."

Krauthammer said the other night that it is irresponsible for the administration to talk about low premiums (which aren’t even that low) without mentioning the “six thousand dollar deductible.”
Someone also said on October 1st it will be too late for people to wake up to what has happened to them.
You might want to “correct” also all the gov. mistakes happening currently while the rest of us attempt to find the truth.
It’s because the facts are so mis-represented by the gov. web sites and thoss navigating this entire beast we are all sharing what we hear to discover the truth....
Nobody’s scaring anybody...finding the truth and trying to determine what it REALLY is should never be discouraged.
So...I will continue to share what I am finding out..and trust others will as well.
Those who are quick to sign on the dotted line are going to be in for some very sad news.
Some of the interviews out there just show how people are not considering the deductables...nor co-payments etc. because they haven’t a clue even what they are!
With the high deductibles unless you contract a major illness that goes into the 10’s of thousands ...these plans will virtually cover nothing thanks to the deductible.
The AP just published a list of Obama’s lies. Why does the media always wait until it’s too late to tell the truth?
I remember 1996 when the day after Clinton was reelected, the Times had a headline saying Democrats Win by Co-opting the Right’s Positions (something like that). I think it was on the front page. The whole subway car was treated to a Class A rant.
when the torrent of facts about these deductables hit the streets....we may see all manner of “crazy behavior” erupting.
perhaps “the DC. Driver” had just been online Reading about HER deductables before driving from Connecticut?
“..it was in the bill but no one read that part before voting for it I GUESS”
no, no, no! Don’t you remember, You have to PASS the bill before you can know what’s in it! Pearl of wisdom for the former Speakeress of the House, the one who so gleefully marched by those wretched TeaPartiers (the “little people”) on Capitol Hill, waving her massive gavel, having a high old time for herself.
That's the beauty of what Cruz has orchestrated.
With the communists determined to push their nationalization of the medical industry,and the Washingtonians from both parties eager to rape taxpayers, it was vital that they be allowed to continue to operate.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost,the retards that voted for the marxist are NOT happy.
This is NOT Kenya.
Canadian firm hired to build Obamacare exchanges!
This is why all we see going on is the first step to single payer Government controlled healthplans.....
A Canadian tech firm that has provided service to that country’s single-payer health care system ....is behind the glitch-ridden United States national health care exchange site healthcare.gov.
CGI Federal is a subsidiary of Montreal-based CGI Group. With offices in Fairfax, Va., the subsidiary has been a darling of the Obama administration, which since 2009 has bestowed it with $1.4 billion in federal contracts, according to USAspending.gov.
The “CGI” in the parent company’s name stands for “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique” in French, which roughly translates to “Information Systems and Management Consultants.” However, the firm offers another translation: “Consultants to Government and Industry.”
The company is deeply embedded in Canada’s single-payer system. CGI has provided IT services to the Canadian Ministries of Health in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Saskatchewan, as well as to the national health provider, Health Canada, according to CGI’s Canadian website.
I was talking to a doctor who treats chronically ill patients. He had a friendly visit from some Feds demanding to know why he sees his privately insured patients more than his Medicaid patients. He explained that his Medicaidn patients come as much as the plan covers.
They explained to him how unfair it is to see other patients more frequently and demanded he justify this practice to them.
I got the impression he was toying with the idea of emigrating.
Wait till they see the spiny thing twirl when they try to make a doctor’s appointment.
Does the Obamacare have the typical...”Above what is customary” fee limits...which if Drs., Hospitals, Labs , Medications etc are charged higher than what Obamacare will pay...then you also have those costs as well.
When I went thru an illness the co-pays and above customary charges were really killing me!....then adding the 20% I had to pay on 80/20 coverage...plus keep up the monthly premiums. An illness has less stress than the constant bills piling up...even with Insurance.
another Phoney Scandal......JUST accounting errors
sure...
“everybody knows” * the whole OdramaCare website is as a conglomeration of errors...
I expect Harry Reid to actually make some sort of frightenigly similar claim..
*my least favorite phrase in the entire english language
I agree that bronze plans seem hardly worth the subsidy much less the full premium.
But the silver plan I'm considering has a $1,500 individual deductible / $3,000 family. Annual out-of-pocket limited to $6,350 / $12,700. Generic prescription drugs $10 copay, not subject to deductible.
Same providers as people on this company's private plans have used for years.
Doesn't really seem so dire to me.
k
Jesus H. Christ and Great Caesars Ghost all rolled up into one.
Great idea, put a bunch of effeminate Frogs in charge of Obamaware.
Not only will you be paying out the ass, but the government can deny medical treatment on a whim, and without a doubt if you are a Christian, or conservative, or registered republican or a gun owner, etc. etc.
I’ve had insurance through work, so I’m not looking Obozocare. I just got my notice on my 2014 premium increase. I will be paying $55 more per paycheck than I did in 2013. That’s not the worst of it. I’ve been on this plan since 2008. In 2008, it was roughly $100/paycheck (like most, I get paid every two weeks), or $216/month for me and my family. Not bad, actually, very good. Now, it’s going to be $240/paycheck (which works out to $520/month). Add the supplemental dental, which is around $45/paycheck, and we’re up to around $617/month for a family of four. That’s a frickin’ mortgage payment.
Yep! Who’d a thought Canada put this mess together with contracts fully funded by us!
Obama has been filling the Obamacare coffers of all his “friends” throughout this entire fiasco....and then sells it to to the public with other bogus organizations, also stealing taxpayers money...in order to further scalp every citizen....
Obamacare is Greatest Theft in the History of mankind!
If I still had a FB account I'd hot link that Nelson picture right on those threads. Not only did most of those people vote for him they were down right arrogant about how this health care plan was going to work. They are completely stupid and should not vote for anyone for the rest of their lives.
Some have said they feel sorry for these people. I don't. Because these idiots took us down with them.
