This is a very powerful letter, be sure to read the whole thing.

Before It’s News has the story.

" ‘Obamacare Has Raped My Future’, Viral Letter From College Student

A University of Michigan graduate penned an open letter that went viral online as she described how President Barack Obama’s signature health care law hurts the working poor, and has “raped” her future.

Ashley Dionne, 26, posted the now-viral letter to conservative radio host Dennis Prager’s Facebook page earlier this week.

Here is the letter:

“My name is Ashley Dionne and I’m a 26-year-old recent graduate from Michigan.

The phony Obamacare signup poster boy made me want to send a message about how Obamacare is really affecting people.

I graduated from The University of Michigan in 2009. In my state, this used to mean something, but even with a bachelor’s I was told I was too educated and wouldn’t stay. I watched as kids with GEDs and high school diploma’s took the low-paying jobs for which I applied.

I went back to school and got a second degree and finally found work at a gym. I work nights and only get 32 hours a week for eight dollars an hour. I’m unable to find a second job at this time.

I have asthma, ulcers, and mild cerebral palsy. Obamacare takes my monthly rate from $75 a month for full coverage on my “Young Adult Plan,” to $319 a month. After $6,000 in deductibles, of course.

Liberals claimed this law would help the poor. I am the poor

I heard this read by Rush, pretty powerful. Copy it, send it to your friends, keep it going viral, it's a great weapon in the anti-Obamacare arsenal. Oh, all you Arizona residents, send it to John McCain, remind him what he's fighting for is wrong.

Only the beginning folks. Imagine when the ‘front end’ of Obamacare is fixed and more Ashley’s see the sticker shock.

believe it or not, not all College students are liberals. I knew and was part of several conservative groups during my college and grad school years and the groups weren’t that small either.

I belong to a teachers union in California, next year at least we’re still offered a choice between 10 private insurance plans. I wonder how long it will be before they leave California.

Ashley, my dear... what you have just learned is much more valuable than ANY college education. Elections have consequences. Now all your hipster douchebag in skinny jeans peers are consiping to ruin YOUR LIFE.

Harsh lesson... but it doesn’t take 2 degrees to find this out.

I have to wonder in what fields she got her two degrees. If either of them ends with “studies”, she may indeed have difficulty finding a good job. Just sayin’...

Not to worry, your abortion for a pregnancy resulting from rape is covered under Obamacare...

...Now you just need to come up with the $6000 deductible. Good luck.

I know an insurance agent who comes up here for vacation time, he runs his own business in Ohio. He says they'll be out of business in a few short years, that private insurance companies will all fold because of this law.

The wilding has just begun, and we still have people in the GOP consultant class that think we should sit back and do nothing..........

my view is that the ones in college are and the ones refusing (a huge swath of the kids that age have the resources but are refusing to attend because of the poor quality of the “professors”) are the conservatives.

The REAL nuke no one is talking about is the premiums, deductables, and co-pays to kick in for year 2, then year 3. Where in the law is there anything that indicates once the "hook is set" this year they don't use the barbed gaff to yank you in the rest of the way.

A $6000 deductable is in reality a $500 a month premium in itself on top of the existing premium. (6000/12=500)

Well, she didn’t go to Penn State, so it’s likely just an expression......

We have a window of opportunity to do great damage to the amnesty push. While people are in shock over what Obamacare has done to their health costs they will be receptive to discussion of how much more it will soon cost. They should be reminded that those costs will be greatly increased with tens of millions of illegals granted amnesty and added to the rolls of freeloading ObamaCare recipients.

McCain is beyond hope. He lives amongst the royalty of DC. The problems of the Little People don't concern him.
