From the New York Times comes a story....
Wait! Breaking news from a few years ago!
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan...."
Is that true? If you liked your plan, you can keep your plan?
Think about Patricia Wanderlich, and others who purchased Obamacare, mentioned in a New York Times article. She can't afford health care under Obamacare.
My God, what has Obamacare done to women?
Obamacare is just another intrusive Big Government Waste Machine that restricts people's choices. It is self-congratulatory while hurting real people.
What this tells us is that the biggest fraud in our current American life comes from self described 'reality based' progressives and liberals.
Reality based? These are the true bigots of our times.
Liberal, progressive bigots: we need a cure. Fast! PB

“To spend thousands of dollars just making sure it hasn’t grown?” said Ms. Wanderlich, 61.
“I don’t have that money...”
A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that the average deductible for individual coverage in employer-sponsored plans was $1,217 this year.
In comparison, the average deductible for a bronze plan on the exchange — the least expensive coverage — was $5,081 for an individual and $10,386 for a family...
