President ignores ObamaCare horror stories as human, financial costs pile up
Fox News ^ | January 30, 2014 | L. Brent Bozell III

People’s Exhibit A: Josie Gracchi has breast cancer. Up until January 1st of this year she had insurance and was scheduled for a January 3rd biopsy and follow-up treatment at one the largest private cancer treatment centers in the world: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

But once 2014 arrived, her insurance was rolled into an ObamaCare health exchange.

She now has no access to the surgeons she was working with, her biopsy and treatment have been postponed and she can’t find comparable doctors and surgeons through the ObamaCare website.

She pleaded on television for help from the president, but has yet to receive an answer.

People’s Exhibit B: Whitney Johnson of Texas is a new mom at 26 and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Her treatments were expensive, $40,000 every five weeks, but her insurance was paying for those treatments.

Then came January 1, 2014 when the insurance was canceled; her insurance company is actually leaving the state of Texas because her plan no longer complies with ObamaCare.

Whitney liked her plan, which President Obama and a cast of countless Democrats told her she’d be able to keep. She doesn’t know what she’ll do now.

People’s Exhibit C: Gloria Cantor of Florida was told her insurance was being dropped because of ObamaCare. She has five brain tumors as well as tumors in her bones. Her insurance company told her that it can offer a different plan, but it will be more expensive. Another reason why “if you like your plan you can keep it” was labeled the “lie of the year” for 2013.

Obama is cold as ice, as is readily evident to anyone who really watches him.

It’s the cost of doing business. Obama doesn’t give a damn.

The sooner that the general population comes to the realization the Obama hates Americans as much as he hates this country, we will all be better off.

My wife had to let her insurance go after Obamacare caused the cost of her insurance to go from $330ish to over $900 + a month! Who in the hell can afford premiums like that except for the elitests who are exempt from it?!

People are, or very soon will be, dying because of this godforsaken mess created by the Democrats and idiots who vote for them. This is beyond FUBAR.

Not really. Buckwheat is a bowl of mush. He’s not a warrior, not a tough guy and not a person who would last 5 minutes on a battlefield. He’s mush.

Not mutually exclusive. His brain is mush. But his heart is ice. He really appears to have no empathy at all for anybody, and isn't even talented enough to fake it, like Bill Clinton is.

The problem is that the media refuses to highlight these stories, and the Republicans refuse to hold press conferences featuring the victims of Obama.

Just like the non-existent coverage of our men and women dying in the Middle East, when before when Bush was POTUS, the networks had a running ticker in the corner screen of who died.

Good analysis. I like this part a bunch: “He really appears to have no empathy at all for anybody...” A feral psychopath. I can dig it, Maceman.

Semper fi, buddy.

Yeah, and most of the "incoming fire" will be coming from behind him...

Hell, this is all pre-meditated — why the public surprise?

And to think that certain favored groups are exempted from this national disaster.

You don’t hear any senator complain, do you?

No one will. I’ve suggested to numerous supposedly conservative groups and talk show hosts to do this very thing, i.e., have a permanent protest on the Washington Mall in front of the White House featuring those who are dying because of obamacare.

Pay their airfare and living expenses in D.C. and rotate two or three different people at a time at the protest. Provide transportation, chairs and weather covers for the dying folks at the protest. They could tell their stories to the media. Fox news alone could have a regular segment on this on any one of their shows. I think some of the other media would be forced to do this as well.

If all of those assholes could give 24x7 coverage to those occupy assholes, why not for dying citizens being killed by obamacare?

It wouldn’t cost that much. If I had the money, I’d do it myself. Everyone in this country is a chicken-livered coward afraid to rock the boat, afraid to create a genuine stir. This would really be the perfect issue to do it.
