"a new plan, from a website which doesn't work, for a higher monthly premium, for services we don't want"

Daniel Bongino is a candidate for Maryland's 6th Congressional District.

Mr. President,

In one of your famous #Obamacare speeches you stated, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." 

Well, as evidenced by the below letter, which my wife and I just received, you lied.

We did "like our plan" and were informed in this letter that our plan will no longer exist and we will be forced to purchase a new plan, from a website which doesn't work, for a higher monthly premium, for services we don't want.

Now, I know I am not one of your connected cronies and insiders, who were all given waivers from this disastrous piece of legislation. I was just one of the Secret Service agents who put my ass on the line for you every day, but I was still praying that given our middle-class existence, operating a small-business, that your "fundamental transformation" of America would have stayed out of our home. Apparently that is not the case as my public battle against your disastrous presidency has just become personal.

Regards,
Dan

One has to wonder how it is that so many people who fervently believed that "everyone should have healthcare," never thought about having to pay for it.

We need to keep repeating the simple fact that GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY OF ITS OWN -- so when you hear about it "investing" in any number of good causes, you might want to clutch your savings a little tighter.

This may well turn out to be the Quote of the Decade:

"I believe everybody should be able to have health insurance, but at the same time, I'm being penalized. And for what?" Weldzius told the Tribune's Peter Frost. "For someone who's always had insurance, who's always taken care of myself, now I have to change my plan?"

 

I can smell the singed feathers and melting wax from BtB headquarters, but I've had this dream before.

The tragedy underlying this entire mess isn't about Obamacare itself -- tragic though that is -- but about an American electorate so thoughtless, so stupid, so gullible, and so miserably educated that they were hoaxed, duped, cozened, flim-flammed, and fast-talked into voting for Barack Hussein Obama. There's always a possibility that Obamacare may someday be repealed -- but you can't repeal the American electorate. That's where our REAL problem is.

We don't know yet what our monthly premiums will be after January 1st, but our insurer has already notified us that our out-of-pocket expenses, including deductibles, will increase in 2014 from the present $3,200 to $9,600. Thank you, Mr Obama.

Tom, you mean "affordable healthcare" is not really affordable after all? But but but... "affordable housing" made housing affordable, didn't it? Oh no, wait a minute, it crashed the economy. Hmmm...
