Stories that are surfacing on
Obamacare's roll out keep getting worse and worse. Average couples who have health insurance
and their families are learning the truth about the real cost of the Affordable
Care Act. They have been hammered by increased premiums and deductables. Many simply can no longer afford health care
through private insurance companies.
Some yearly premiums have
skyrocketed. One such middle income
family saw its premiums go from about $6000 per year with low co-pays and no
deductables to $10,000 per year and deductables of $12,700. This couple is not alone. This same scenario is playing out all over
America. The anger is becoming palpable.
Here are sources of the angst that is
beginning to bubble up:
·
Bad information from the very sources who are
supposed to know.
·
The disaster that is the sign up debacle is
creating a frustration level that will exceed even the worst DMV line.
·
Computers can be very frustrating for
inexperienced users so the actual number of signees is tiny. Having been bitten
once, many won't try again.
·
The jack-booted Internal Revenue Service thugs
will be working overtime taking refunds from taxpayers. When the IRS starts taking tax refunds,
especially from young taxpayers, I
shudder to think of those consequences.
·
Delays in approvals have just begun. It will be an ongoing
·
Those who have difficulty signing up on line
won't believe Obama would fine them when it's not their fault that the Obama
ACA doesn't work if they haven't signed up for some kind of health care..
·
Many who assume they've registered and have
insurance, will be shocked to find out they missed one tiny box on the signup
sheet and are not covered. Most likely,
this shock will be when they need it most, and they'll be out in the cold.
·
Voters who kissed Obama's shoes will now find
out what "What's in the bill" really means and they are not going to
be happy.
·
Obama Supporters who think they have insurance
that they can afford and going to face deductables that will stagger them will
still leave them with no way to pay the deductables.
·
College students with their new degrees, who
sang the praises of Obama, will have to use precious resources to pay their
fines or premiums, and then discover that the jobs that Obama promised too will
be 28 hours-per-week menial burger flippers.
·
The really poor among us will be shattered to
learn that the hope and change they were promised will be a sham and thirty
million will still be without insurance, and the insurance that is available
will be worse than before.
·
When children want their elderly parents to have
the best possible care, they will be "Death Paneled" to die without
care but with Obama "pills" to alleviate pain.
·
The economy will slow even more. Growth will be nearly non-existent with fewer
and fewer ways to make it grow. America
will continue to slide into irrelevance and those who praised Obama will spew
vitriol.
And for all his efforts Obama won't be
able to blame this one on Bush. As it was proven in the recent “SHUTDOWN” Obama
owns Obamacare lock-stock-and-barrel and Republicans will be in a position to
say “We Tried.”
For the next year, the anger now
growing, will burst into the open.
