As Obama Delays Obamacare Again, Julie Boonstra Strikes Back
PowerLine ^ | 3/5/14 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 03/05/2014 6:33:43 PM PST by Nachum

As Scott noted a little while ago, the Obama administration has again pushed back the deadline for individual and small group policies to comply with Obamacare’s requirements. They are doing this, obviously, because they are trying to put off the political fallout when millions of Americans lose the coverage they had, and find that coverage under Obamacare will be more expensive and/or more limited.

Which gives a special resonance to the story of Julie Boonstra. Mrs. Boonstra, as you likely recall, is a Michigan resident who suffers from leukemia. She filmed a television ad for Americans For Prosperity in which she described the disruption that resulted when Obamacare caused her to lose the wholly satisfactory insurance that she had enjoyed, and replaced it with something less satisfactory to her.

Harry Reid and other Democrats attacked Mrs. Boonstra, calling her a liar. The Democratic Senate candidate who was the target of the AFP ad, Gary Peters, had his lawyers send letters to Michigan televisions stations, threatening to have the FCC pull their licenses to broadcast if they aired the ad. Of course, neither Peters nor Reid is familiar with the details of the coverage that Mrs. Boonstra enjoyed under her old policy, or under her new, Obamacare-compliant policy. They based their claim that she is a liar on general characteristics of Obamacare.

Vid of her second ad at the site. It is (IMHO) devastating. This woman is part of the reason that Obamatron is once again pushing off the mandate.

DemocRATs = Heartless Bastards

Are the attacks against Mrs. Boonstra not slander??? Perhaps she should sue since she has the paperwork to back up her claims.

Now we know why Dingy Harry demonizes the Koch bros. Thanks to them, folks are getting the hear the truth about 0Care.

Will Dingy ever criticize companies like CVS who get cushy Rx contracts for companies like GE?

A tea partier in the house should introduce legislation delaying all of the mandates. See how many liberals and rinos would vote against it.

What I mean by that is in the bill there should be lanquage that extends the delays but kills the whole deal at the end of the extensions.

I am waiting for the nuclear option being detonated with video of Harry Reid pronouncing they are lieing followed by Pictures, Names, states they live in and the type of terminal illness they have who had their
policies cancelled.

This latest delay is NOT going to stop the bombardment and full frontal assault on these demon rats!

Matter of fact this woman Clearly has standing by being harmed as her insurance has been cancelled and now others are being treated differently.

Harry has immunity when he lies from the floor of the Senate. He knows better to repeat those lies anywhere else. Because if he does he will get sued in a n.y. minute

Liberal Democrats are heartless bastards when something interferes with their religion, which is politics. They serve Mammon. This life is all there is....or at least they hope so.

My republican congressman was collecting stories last night and asking people losing their insurance to officially contact his office so he can get their info and see if they want to speak out.

Like I said this is just the beginning. People are politically ignorant in general, however we have all had close ones suffer from Cancer and death. Everyone understands that!

Those ads hit everyone at their core.
Granting more delays just proves to those that
Wonder that it isn’t working.

If you want to chuckle visit Rep. Gary Peters web site. I think he is in his fall out shelter. ;)

These ads are great but internet videos are one thing ads on TV entirely different (even now TV ads are entirely more effective)

The Demonrats know this which is why the FCC crap was pulled over the first ad. So what’s the probability this response will be seen on TV ?

I think that’s the real question.
