The White House is "as sorry as we can be" that a Washington state woman held up as an example of the success of the Affordable Care Act marketplaces appears to be falling through the cracks, press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday.
In mid-October, President Obama cited single mother Jessica Sanford as an exchange success story after she wrote to him after being able to sign up for insurance in early October. She's since learned that her state's system miscalculated her tax credit and that her out-of-pocket costs will be substantially higher than expected.

Think they’ll ‘fix’ her?
Which pill, the blue pill or the red one?
You will never hear from her again.
I read this story this morning. It’s ridiculous. She was totally mis-informed not once, but twice and maybe thrice, because although it appears her son was enrolled in medicaid he may not in fact be eligible, so who knows if or when they’ll catch that error. Plus this - if your kids do get enrolled in medicaid it is pretty much impossible to un-enroll them, even if it was done by mistake.
How many others are out there just like this woman?
OK we can laugh at her, but it’s not really funny at all.
First Obama said ‘’Sorry.’’ Now they’re saying they’re ‘’as sorry as we can be.’’ What’s next, when the ObamaCare site inevitably doesn’t work on December 1st — ‘’We’re sorry we have to keep saying we’re sorry’’? Or more likely, ‘’We NEVER said the site would be ready on December 1st.’’
(Background chorus: "Oh no! Not the black pill!" Mash reference)
Her facebook link is posted on the article page. Send her a sympathy note.
And the comments at the site.... whew!
Kind of like “unexpected” changes in unemployment numbers, national debt and recovery from the depression they caused.
They’re sorry. So sorry.
Dear Lord, please let this bite them in the behind. Big time.

Is there any portion of this program that is not built on a lie?
If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it’s Free.
LOL. I heard a radio commercial earlier that said “mention this ad and you can get 20% off your free inspection”.
Even in NYS which has always had very high requirements for policies and should not have been a big hit to enroll in CACA © (Can’t Afford Care Act) but she was faced with a huge premium hit for a higher deductible and higher co-pay!
It’s higher because this is how socialized medicine works. Everybody pays for a bunch of stuff they don’t need. The whole scheme is a confidence trick. Nothing more than a tax and middle class destroying wealth transfer.
This Administration can't tie their shoes without screwing up.
