Woman Personally Hailed By Barack Obama in Obamacare Rally as One of Obamacare's Few Success Stories... Now Reports the Obamacare Insurance is Too Expensive, and She Won't Have Insurance At All


From Ace:



The CNN report quotes President Obama as saying, "I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington state. And here's what she wrote, I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed. and I haven't had insurance for 15 years because it's too expensive. I was crying the other day when I signed up, so much stress lifted." 
But days, just really three days after she was mentioned by the president, Jessica Sanford started having problems, she was receiving letters from the Washington state health exchange," reports CNN. "The first letter telling her that tax credit was reduced, therefore, increasing the cost of her health care plan and the, take a look at this, then she received a letter just last week telling her that her tax credit had been taken away all together. Show you another document here, showing what the tax credit worked out to be... zero dollars according to this document that was provided to us by Jessica Sanford. She describes all of this as a roller coaster ride. Now she says she can't afford insurance in Washington state because of the new developments." 
Sanford tells CNN that she's embarrassed. "It was a huge disappointment, especially since I had, you know, my story had been shared by the president. I felt like, you know, I just felt really embarrassed that, you know, he quoted my story and then come to find that the Washington health plan finder, the website here in our state, had grossly miscalculated or they're having a problem figuring their tax credits. and so at least for right now, I don't -- I'm not going to be getting insurance," she says.

no, it's precisely what I would have run into if I had ever been STUPID enough to press [PAY NOW].

Of course, it was just admitted today that the site, in fact, HAS NO ABILITY TO GET THE PAYMENT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY, BECAUSE THAT FUNCTIONALITY HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET
