Republican: "Thank God For Obamacare!"

[RandomVariable]

I hope went all the people who could have signed up for Obamacare but did not because of Republican propaganda the people take it out on the Republicans and take Republicans out of office.

You mean the LIBERAL PRESS is giving Republican's coverage to spread their propaganda?...Now, THAT'S FUNNY!

Are the two of you speechless?

I agree it's awkward. When a person 'earns' $200 a year being a local State of NH Rep it must be difficult for any other State Rep to swallow.
They don't receive health insurance as a benny for being an elected official.

Regarding the COBRA issue, it appears he injured himself in 2011. By law COBRA lasts 18 months only. Although it does appear his employer wants him back after he has re-cooperated to full capacity.

Technically they should have been eligible for Medicaid!
He's in his early 60's, Medicare should kick in fairly soon.

The monstrosity I see is with New Hamp. Their elected non federal pols should be paid more than $200 a year.

A few other interesting notes for me are:

1) How can they afford $136 per month?
2) I cannot find what field Rita's employed in
3) The move from a five bedroom 'mansion' to a trailer home in such a short time frame is mind boggling.

4)

Richardson said he only received some $2,000 a month in workers' comp. payments, however, leaving little for them to live on.

Workers comp doesn't last for years, unless injuries (like back injuries) can't be proven. What is 'some'? Does it mean 'only' or 'short term'? Regardless, the company will pay for the duration of his wrenched shoulder injury.

5) The article doesn't state what plan they have, nor average costs for their chosen plan are in New Hamp.

6) He is up for re-election this year.

About what?

The questions regarding the OP and your post #4 in this thread.

Nice. Good for them.

I'm waiting for a wingnut to try to debunk this as false, the way that every single anti-Obamacare story has been thoroughly debunked.

Well, Staph checked in.....but that is sort of cheating as she is too dumb to earn her place among wingnuts. The real wingnuts know that they are full of shit....but don't care.

I'll take your response as a yes.

Scott Brown Awkwardly Finds Out That Obamacare Is Also Helping Republicans



*snip*



Brown found that out on Saturday, when he stopped by the home of Herb Richardson, a Republican state representative. Sitting in Richardson's home, Brown called Obamacare a "monstrosity" that members of Congress didn't even bother to read before they passed. At that point, according to the Coos County Democrat, Richardson chimed in to explain that the law had been a "financial lifesaver" for him and his wife. From the the piece (page 14):


.

Richardson was injured on the job and was forced to live on his workers' comp payments for an extended period of time, which ultimately cost the couple their house on Williams Street. The couple had to pay $1,100 a month if they wanted to maintain their health insurance coverage under the federal COBRA law.


Richardson said he only received some $2,000 a month in workers' comp. payments, however, leaving little for them to live on.


"Thank God for Obamacare!" his wife exclaimed.

Now, thanks to the subsidy for which they qualify, the Richardsons only pay $136 a month for health insurance that covers them both.
​

No one claims that Obamacare doesn't help some people.

That isn't the point.

The point is that it is something the American people, as a whole, did not want, and it was forced on us by way of lies, conniving, mannipulation and a dishonest President and Speaker Pelosi to use our need for affordable Health Care coverage as a way of subjugating us to the Government.

When you control the peoples health care you control the people.

Obamacare has ALWAYS been about gaining control over us.

That is not why our founding fathers fought England for our independence.

All of you who support Obama and ACA are voting for Obama to be our King and you his subjects.

History and human nature say you are mistaken if you believe a Government will stay benign once it has total power.

ACA will give Obama total power.

How are we being subjugated, Drama Queen?

 

[Synthaholic]

Of course he was being over charged for COBRA. And?

wtf?

"the Richardsons only pay $136 a month for health insurance that covers them both." is cheap cheap, they are being subsidized.

. I do realize that by "subsidize" you probably are referring to the use of government funds to offset losses by the insurance companies. I am not certain if that is true or not. However, If only half of the new enrollees are paying premiums averaging 70 bucks a month each, that's no chump change.

"government funds" wtf, are you on drugs? The government doesn't have any "funds", it is taxpayer money that is footing the bill. Anyone getting anything subsidized means someone else is paying for it; anyone who is paying more is paying for it. Period. It's only going to get worse. There is no "probably" about any of that.

Please point to evidence of conservatives going apeshit over taxpayers subsidizing the most profitable company in human history, Exxon/Mobil.

No, I'm a Liberal: I work for a living, and don't spend every waking moment looking to refute ignorance in the interwebz.

Not that you are ignorant . . .

there is no reason to respond to you and debunk anything..you are such a subject of the government and the Democrat party you are hopeless

the majority hate ObamaCare and your dear leader but you just ignore them and post like a damn fool being used and like a good subject accuse everyone of LYING with their own stories of how ObamaScam has effected them


you are pathetic

IOW's you're admitting you have nothing to refute the anti-Obamacare stories, so you just STFU and hope no one notices?

Are you sure about "the majority hate ObamaCare"? An article posted by CNN on March 11 sez: "Not all of the opposition to the health care law comes from the right," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Thirty-nine percent say they oppose the law because it's too liberal, but 12% say they oppose it because it's not liberal enough."

That means half the public either favors Obamacare, or opposes it doesn't go far enough. Roughly 6% oppose the law but don't have an opinion on whether it is too liberal or not liberal enough."

But-----but if you're saying the Republican controlled House and the filibuster controlled Senate should replace Obamacare with what the majority favors, i.e robust public-option/single-payer/medicare for all -- I'm all in.

A politician is happy that he can sponge off the taxpayers and you think that proves Obamacare is a good thing.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Just curious, if every single anti Obamacare story is false, why the fuck did Obama delay it until after the next election?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Of course he thinks it's great, someone else is footing the majority of his costs. Duh.

Interesting that you choose to see it that way as opposed to the possibility that he was being way overcharged with COBRA.

Is that because corporations can do no wrong in your eyes?

And where do you get the certainty that he is getting subsidized?

Interesting that you think someone actually paying for the coverage they get means they are overcharged.

 

[Spiderman]

Nice. Good for them.

Please post proof that every person who has seen their premiums rise is lying.

You're asking for false testament... the narrative is not that premiums rise, it's why premiums rise.

The pre-Obamacare non-system healthcare we've been living under, does virtually nothing to address rising healthcare cost. Obamacare does a little but not enough to address rising healthcare costs.

My question for Republicans is, what has your party done to cope with rising healthcare costs?

I'm sorry you can't comprehend that anyone getting anything subsidized means someone else is footing the bill, that goes for oil companies, green energy, agriculture, health insurance, etc. It should all go.

The premium increase were slowing down do to the fact that the economy sucks, and now they are going up faster than they were when the economy was booming despite the fact that the economy sucks. The only significant change I see is Obamacare, if you see something else, feel free to point it out so I can factor it in.
