I”m not real happy that folks dumb enough to think Obama Care was a good idea are reproducing.

I was like, ‘Oh, here’s the answer! This is simple!’” he told NPR.

Yet another case of someone who was greedy or stupid (or both) thinking that he and his family could get "free", premium healthcare paid for by "the rich," and now waking up to the reality of government healthcare.

Given their frustrations with finding a doctor who would accept Obamacare insurance, the Robinsons dropped their plan and decided to pay $4,000 for a midwife and a home delivery instead, an option they previously rejected. NPR reported that the Robinsons paid for the birth of their child in April out of pocket, but filed for reimbursement afterward through a Christian-based cost-sharing plan.

Dropped their Obamacare plan? They'd better keep an eye on their checkbook, or whatever they used to make the monthly payments. Welcome to the Hotel California, Rachel!

It’s sad that good people are getting screwed. But it’s funny as hell that the liberals who wanted this and still love obama are getting screwed.

“Some would just come right out and say, ‘We don’t take Obamacare,’”

Give it a little time. Obammy will fix that with another EO.

What a lot of folks are coming to grips with is that if you really want the perks of being rich, you have to actually be rich.

We are in for such a time of forced austerity in this country it’s not even a little bit funny. My wife and I are growing a large garden (roughly 40x80) and have learned something very interesting: It’s a LOT OF WORK. So is heating your home with wood.

But I think a LOT of folks are going to be coming to grips with the idea that to enjoy a lot of the stuff they take for granted (like a warm home in winter) they are going to have a lot less free time.

Well, beggars can’t be choosers. If their plan only has rotating doctors, then that’s what she will have. Obummer’’s “change” again.

” but the doctors rotated and Rachel wanted a relationship with only one physician.”

Well, you don’t get to decide, sweetie. The government tells you what you can have now.

**********************************

Let’s see ... $375/month x 12 = $4,500 .... $500 more in just premium cost than the cost of the midwife/home delivery .... wonder what their deductibles were?

How many “Obamacare” signups have done the same thing when they find out insurance isn’t the same as medical access/care? I’m sure it’s a whole lot more than being reported.

In some ways they are lying. They did find a practice that would take them but the practice rotated physicians and the mom would be subject to whoever was working and not able to rely on one provider.

This is the essence of socialized medicine, sometimes you get Dr Wonderful and sometimes you get Dr Awful. So they found a midwife and used a healthcare cost sharing plan. Which got them to assume more risk for their baby’s birth, as well as the costs.

You are not going to be allowed to do that.

“We’re so happy with where we are now, but this is not OK. And I’m extremely confident that, that’s not what the architects of this plan had in mind,” Nick told NPR.

I wonder if their child will be stupid too!?!

My idiot brother in law thought it was going to be great, also. That is until he found out it would be $750.00 per month with a $13,000.00 deductible.

It’s all so predictable!

Only idiot Liberals could let themselves be diddled like this.

They’re SO gullible, I’m sure they don’t even know that the worst is yet to come!!!!!
