So the lady HAD health insurance that she liked. But Regime Obama didn't like it and forced her to get new, improved insurance.
But then she needed to use it.....
And the sad, sad story begins:
"WHEN Karen Pineman of Manhattan received notice that her longtime health insurance policy didn’t comply with the Affordable Care Act’s requirements, she gamely set about shopping for a new policy through the public marketplace. After all, she’d supported President Obama and the act as a matter of principle."
"Ms. Pineman, who is self-employed, accepted that she’d have to pay higher premiums for a plan with a narrower provider network and no out-of-network coverage. She accepted that she’d have to pay out of pocket to see her primary care physician*, who didn’t participate. She even accepted having co-pays of nearly $1,800 to have a cast put on her ankle in an emergency room after she broke it while playing tennis.
* "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor......
(but you fucking well are gonna pay the bill on your own).
And the shit REALLY hit the fan. Read and weep (just like Ms Pineman, whose goosshhhy love affiar with All Things Obama was cooling):
