Obamacare Facebook Erupts with Citizen Sticker Shock!


On Thursday, the government's official Obamacare Facebook page was riddled with people expressing sticker shock over the government's high cost premiums after struggling for hours to wade through the technical failures vexing Obamacare exchanges all across the country.

"I am so disappointed," wrote one woman. "These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!" The comment received 169 "likes."

"There is NO WAY I can afford it," said one commenter after using the Kaiser Subsidy Calculator. "Heck right now I couldn't afford an extra 10$ [sic] a month...and oh apparently I make to [sic] much at 8.55/hour to get subsidies."

Comment from a user on another site

The president compares apples and oranges.

What he said at the press conference didn't make sense to me. Did I misunderstand something? He was bragging that the traffic (a million users) at the new gov't healthcare site drew 5X the amount of people who'd ever been on Medicaredotgov at one time. As if that wouldn't be expected? Um, does he remember when Nancy Pelosi said the bill would need to be passed for us to find out what was in it? Think, just maybe, that the FIRST DAY the site was open, people were just a little curious as to the ACTUAL EFFECT on them? What does that have to do with the traffic rate of the Medicare site?

Politicians! It's kind of funny how, despite the negative reaction to what people discovered, he can still stand there and try to put a positive spin on it. I like this comment by some Democrat: "Is obozo watching or even hearing about this? Sticker shock equals more votes for the right in 2014. Thanks obozo."

It's unconstitutional for Congress and the Senate to be exempted from this tax.

There are so many privacy and Constitutional violations in the law itself do you think they care?
