Obamacare Facebook Erupts with Citizen Sticker Shock
breitbart.com ^ | October 4, 2013 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 10/04/2013 11:40:30 AM PDT by grundle

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."

I wish the GOP would play this over and over and over.

For a single person you're still talking close to $8,000 plus the premium every month and all co-pays if you have an accident or illness....and if you loose time off from work that's also loss of revenue...not to mention the costs they won't pay.....And what are the caps? If any?

Still many questions not being answered until you sign up...and even those are subject to change and will.

I say this because the Administration is counting on young people between 26 and 34 to sign in....though they may only have to pay $2,000 the fine is far less....so in the first year you can pretty much know they won't be signing up.

With all the huge subsidies being paid out for the low income etc. and those already sick...this beast isn't going to hold much further than a year.....those who have put off any medical care will flood through with...Allergy treatments, knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, chiropractic visits, colonoscopy,abortions, wart removal, hormone replacements, viagra pills and mental health to name a few........

There will be a immense number of procedures performed in the first year. Stuff people have lived with for years, but can now get paid for.....so you can bet 'all premiums will rise' substantially after the first year..and they can and will do just that.

Bamo doesn't care how many lies he tells...he knows those who support him ‘will believe him’ and really don't care if he's lying or not.

The Demo-rats build their agenda and their issues on lies...it's how they operate because the public and our representatives don't hold them to account...or for that matter don't know how to do so. Most don't want to bother.

By the time this medical beast goes around and people see how nasty it is Obama will not care...he's out of here...he has nothing whatsoever to loose by pushing his agendas thru...

...and once he's accomplished ruining this country...and amnesty putting the final nail in the coffin...he'll walk away and leave the mess to the Republicans for all the failures they will have to pick up after him...trouble is they won't be able to...it will be too far gone by then.

I was angry, but these days I take a small amount of perverse pleasure in watching these fools find out the god they worshiped has lied to them. Yes, it's a shared misery, but if I didn't laugh my @ss off watching these people have a meltdown, I'd lose what little sanity I have left.

I hope (and pray) that is the case.

Thanks! This is scary stuff. The majority of Americans don’t even know that all of this is *in the bill*. Once you even visit their evil site, they’ve got their hooks in. Yikes!!!

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.

Absolutely - they'd be better off just putting the money in a savings account instead of paying the premium. If they do need major medical they are still going to lose the house, whether they are covered or not.

And anybody else who has hacked them...Because with all the bugs and errors this leaves portholes for the Hackers to come on in....

(There was a photo of that very pop up.)

<....” If they do need major medical they are still going to lose the house, whether they are covered or not.”....>

I rent, but well remember selling furniture in my yard to pay medical bills... I had a 80/20 plan...which covered much but that 20% will mount up rapidly into thousands and this along with co-pays.... and you still have to pay the premium every month!

Until you go through a major illness you cannot believe how much you are billed. Additionally there were above what was customary costs...so you get nailed down to the ground.

But with these huge deductables... you’re going to pay you’re medical bills plus your premium...it makes no sense at all! Except of course the Gov. has a steady source of revenue to their coffers....

<....”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.”....>

And don’t forget they can deny you or change your premium if you’re not following their “Preventive” recommendations and fail to keep your check up appointments.

“Some government appointee (acorn Navigators)will check your files to see if your lowering your weight, cholesterol, salt intake or are you exercising like you were told?
Future rates may be based on how well you follow orders.”

Yep...they basically own you. But make no mistake...the Demorats and Obama are playing a dangerous game in this...the ultimate goal is to make this a single payer (Gov) program...so they have no concerns if the beast falls under it’s own weight....they’ll just shift everyone into Gov single payer and present themselves as the hero’s....the idea is to ‘get every ones information’ and then haul us all into the Global Agenda.

This is why the Abomacare cannot be funded and must be stopped...it’s simply the avenue to get us all into their databases....which in time will fall under control of the World Order they’re now getting into place.

(((Here’s something else to consider:))))

“Any malady or procedure that may be embarrassing will be public record as of October 1st.

EVERY ABORTION WILL BE PUBLIC thereby voiding the privacy clause the SCOTUS hinged Roe v Wade upon. .......

....That means Women can be held responsible for killing a mans baby and subject to monetary damage. “

You are correct, it is nothing more than another tax on the middle class dreamed up by the community redistributionist in chief.
