re: “I like some of those radicals on Fox News, he says.”
They’re trying to pass this guy off as some sort of converted conservative. A conservative would not use the term “radicals” to describe someone they thought was truly conservative.
This story sounds bogus to me.
$26.11 for a silver plan? Pull the other one, it has bells on it!
Pure manure.
I don’t believe a word of this agitprop.
Didn’t this guy belong to a union? He should have lavish health care benefits.
Twice bypassed myself and without insurance since retiring early by choice last year. Still, I wont become part of that misengination of health and government named the ACA. I may die early but it wont be at the mercy of some bureaucrat who may or may not allow me to have another intervention of cardiac care if needed.
Don’t count me in as one of those converts and I am definitely not a Bill O’Reilly devotee. Mush mouth.
Yes. I know there is a handout waiting for me if I will just climb on the wagon.
But at what cost?
The states set up high risks pools for people that could not obtain commercial insurance or insurance through an employer. But 0-care eliminated the state plans. Secondly, as a retired fireman in PA, why didn’t he have a big fat juicy taxpayer supported healthcare plan?
This is BS propaganda from the state media as usual.
Phony premise.
Republicans haven’t opposed people buying health insurance.

So glad Mr. Adgstad got his surgery and one good story of Obamacare. But for every success story there are those that paid for it. Here it is....my friend after 10 years with his company was laid off Tuesday along with others. In addition all employees pay was reduced by 25%. Reason given Obamacare.
But now that he's been on the gov't gravy train, he's a fellow traveler.
Dean Angstadt, a self-employed logger with a bad heart,
Angstadt, who lives in a town north of Philadelphia and works in the woods, had a bum ticker that was dangerously ticking down. He could barely walk 50 feet without gasping for breath. This winter, his doctor told him he needed valve-replacement surgery. Problem was, Angstadt didn’t have health insurance.

Who do you think is subsidizing his healthcare insurance now?
Who do you think will pay for it in the future when he decides it’s too expensive?
::SNIIIIIFFF:: Oh the lucky lucky guy...saved by zerocare and for only $26 per month out of his pocket.
$700 per month out of the taxpayers pocket
but hey...what do they care...greedy selfish taxpayer bastids...a LIFE was saved.
Bite me.
a self-employed, self-sufficient logger who has cleared his own path for most of his 57 years, never expecting help from anyone. And even though he’d been uninsured since 2009
“But then I considered his monthly premium — $22.11 — and worked backward via ValuePenguin, which is still posting prices with a subsidy calculation for the just-finished 2014 open enrollment season. That premium for Angstadt’s plan in his home county of Berks County, PA bespeaks an annual income in the neighborhood of $16,000. At that income level, he qualifies for the ACA’s highest level of cost sharing reduction (CSR), calculated to give the plan an actuarial value of 94%, comparable to the best employer-sponsored plans. For this particular plan, the Highmark Blue Cross Silver PPO, that translates to a deductible of $100 and an out-of-pocket maximum of $500, as ValuePenguin shows and a Highmark rep verified for me.”

It looks like he is actually on Medicaid (welfare)

government break your leg then give you a crunch, then tell you see “without me, you couldn’t walk”
Next we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.
To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured for free.
There, I hope that this clarifies this issue once & for all.
Wow - they finally found somebody who’s benefiting from Obamacare (until he gets the bill for his co-pay and deductible - which you’ll never hear about)......
