Even the New York Times has decided that Obamacare is worse than useless. [1]
But for many consumers, the sticker shock is coming not on the front end, when they purchase the plans, but on the back end when they get sick: sky-high deductibles that are leaving some newly insured feeling nearly as vulnerable as they were before they had coverage.
“The deductible, $3,000 a year, makes it impossible to actually go to the doctor,” said David R. Reines, 60, of Jefferson Township, N.J., a former hardware salesman with chronic knee pain [2]. “We have insurance, but can’t afford to use it.”
Leaving aside for the moment the disaster that is Obama foreign policy, this business with Obamacare alone should be enough to keep any Democrat out of the White House now. That is assuming of course that we actually get a conservative that we can vote for as opposed to Democrat light. GOP, are you listening?
