Mother Of Five: Obamacare Jeopardizing My Family’s Financial Future - EagleRockCafe - 04-03-2014 08:56 AM
More proof of the anger and hate that the Dems use.....
A Michigan mother of five says that the crushing new costs associated with Obamacare have imperiled her family’s financial future and will burden the household with thousands of dollars in unexpected expenses.
The uptick in costs that Shannon Wendt and her family will face in the coming years under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act will strain the family’s finances and force both Shannon and her husband to work harder to bridge the fiscal gap.
Wendt initially decided to discuss her plight in an ad produced by the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, which has chronicled the negative impact of Obamacare on American families across the nation.
Wendt told the Washington Free Beacon that since she first spoke about her rising healthcare costs supporters of Obama’s signature law have deluged her with “hate mail,” dubbing her a “lying *****” and writing that “my children should be taken away.”
“It is going to be a big price increase so it’s definitely something that we have to consider and figure out,” Wendt said in an interview.
“We have always been really entrepreneurial and do it yourselfers … [so] that’s where we run into these problems with the increase because we don’t say, ‘Oh, who’s going to pay for this for us.’ We said, ‘We’re going to have to work a little harder, work a little smarter, and figure something out so our income can go up,’” she said.
The burden of Obamacare has sparked worry and anxiety in the Wendt household.
“I naively believed the president that this was going to be something that saves money for me and that’s what it looked like at first,” she explained. “We thought we’d qualify for a subsidy and get a plan that was pretty similar and had a little bit better coverage and that we’d be paying the same price. And then, lo and behold, we actually don’t qualify for a subsidy at all, and the premium is astronomical.”
The Wendts were paying $221 a month to cover their family of seven. They are now paying a monthly premium of $381 under a temporary stop-gap plan that will be canceled next year, when the family is forced by law to register for an Obamacare plan.
Under this new plan, the family will be forced to pay around $24,000 a year, nearly double the cost of the $12,000 they pay under their current plan, Wendt said.

I've been scanning comments on local news Obamacare Q&A forums... nearly every comment is asking how they can work around paying for it.

And yet again, the story pretty much falls apart when you actually look at it objectively.
Will they ever stop trying?
Quote:Based on the Kaiser Family Foundation and HealthCare.gov results, a Michigan family of seven with the same profile could get a silver plan with the same coinsurance as the Wendt’s current plan, a monthly premium that would be roughly the same (somewhat less for the HMO and somewhat more for the PPO) and far less than the $10,000 annual deductible. Plus, such a family would be eligible for subsidies to reduce out-of-pocket expenses to around $3,000 — which could represent a significant savings since Shannon Wendt told MLive.com, a Michigan news website, that her family paid $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses last year.Misleading Anti-Obamacare Ad in Michigan
Of course, the silver plan also provides more benefits because it provides “essential benefits” and meets other requirements that Wendt’s old and current plan do not meet.

It's easy. They don't have to carry insurance. The penalty is significantly less.

Only the first year, and it's actually a tax not a penalty (a synonym of fine).

Evidently someone likes to assume...
But I'll take away any doubt for you.
Anyone who sends those types of messages to her is a disgusting vile POS. Those types of actions have no place in rational discourse on this topic.
Now, while I don't buy her arguments, I can respect that this is not an easy situation for her and is likely quite troublesome. That being said, it's pretty clear that she could save herself some money here. And I feel sorry for her as she's likely been misled by Republicans and her chosen media.

Old man...time to hang it up. You just can't keep up.
She's being misled by Republicans who constantly insist that Obamacare has failed when it has just barely started. Misled by the Koch's and their minions who constantly tell her that she's going to pay more.
And I'm sorry, but the facts in this case...as well as in the Boonstra case...show that they would actually save money if they followed the provisions set out by the ACA.
This has NOTHING to do with who voted for the plan. Geez.

Right. By going on the dole. She clearly says exactly that, she isn't taking a hand out.
Quote:“We have always been really entrepreneurial and do it yourselfers … [so] that’s where we run into these problems with the increase because we don’t say, ‘Oh, who’s going to pay for this for us.’ We said, ‘We’re going to have to work a little harder, work a little smarter, and figure something out so our income can go up,’” she said.
So, for that, and for trying to instill that in her children she is threatened, called a liar, and by our own leftists, implied she's a buffoon that is easily lead by the nose like the left is.
So, yea, she is going to pay more. Period. Cause she refuses to take a handout from her neighbors kids mouths to put in her own. Nothing misleading about that.
I know that's a completely foreign concept to you utopian leftists, but it's not for this Family. We'd all be far better off with more people like her and far fewer who will lie straight to your face.
"Mislead by Republicans".
Now THAT'S a good one.

JD knew everything from good credit to exactly what features and attitudes a woman needed in order to last a lifetime with you, when he was 15. He probably already knew that you were going to write "Maybe Eagle will respond when Tom responds to my dismantling of his agenda in the woodstove thread." in response to him, when he was 15, too.
