It’s just a BS story. Maybe not a single true phrase in it. Mr. Chapman is a “retired firefighter” at age 55, and is a a hardship case?

A family making $90,000 dollars year gets a subsidy???? WTF???

[cuban leaf]

We took the easy way out. Starting next month we will have no health care insurance.

Liberally biased media always seem to start their articles with an anecdotal story about some individual. It’s a useful red flag, but it drives me crazy.

below $94,200 — their costs would be cut in half, because a family like theirs could qualify for federal subsidies.

Just another step in the plan to make every citizen dependent on government.

>>Maybe Obama will open a Barbecue joint and serve up all of those chickens of his that are coming home to roost

If Obama opened a Barbecue joint, it would be hailed as the greatest barbecue ever for months before it opened. Then, on opening day, when the parking lot is full and people are lined up out the door, he’d announce that he is only serving salad.

N.H., formerly "Live Free or Die" is LOST.

Time to withdraw.

Exactly, tell me they voted for McCain and Romney, and I will feel their pain, but if not, they you got what they deserved.

Romney wouldn't have changed anything; politically speaking he's a clone of Obama.

From article:
“They’re frustrated,” he said. “Everybody was thinking that Obamacare was going to come in with more affordable rates. Well, they’re not more affordable.”

No, not everybody. Anyone with half a brain knew it wouldn’t be more “affordable.”

[Borderline]

I'm not even close to 'frustrated'. I'm PISSED!

Obamacare is enough to drive me to revolutionary mode.

We’ve been without insurance since April when hubby was terminated from his main job, and we’ve survived. Cash will be king in healthcare in the coming years, IMO.

[TChad]

That's very, um, progressive!

Apparently those with a $50K income have earned enough money already.

[trebb]

So, if they made $6K less a year, the subsidies would take care of about $6K a year. This would leave them in the exact same financial condition, but make them feel better?

It's almost as if Obama Care is designed to level some of that evil financial inequality.

[grania]

So the voters are to blame for not voting for insane McCain or Romneycare? How about blaming the RINOs who’d rather lose elections than to cede power to constitutional conservatives?
