The Realities of DemocratCare…. or ‘They Don’t Call us “The Right!” For Nothing.’ Part VI

Another “No, you Can’t Keep Your Plan” story–once again demonstrating who is Right and who is….left on a hook by the Democrats.  Not to worry lefty warriors, she’s just pregnant and been forced to go shopping for a new plan.

Party of Change?  I get it now.   Democrat: “Guess we lied– You’ll have to Change your plan after all.

Fullerton resident Jennifer Harris thought she had a great deal, paying $98 a month for an individual plan through Health Net Inc. She got a rude surprise this month when the company said it would cancel her policy at the end of this year. Her current plan does not conform with the new federal rules, which require more generous levels of coverage.

Now Harris, a self-employed lawyer, must shop for replacement insurance. The cheapest plan she has found will cost her $238 a month. She and her husband don’t qualify for federal premium subsidies because they earn too much money, about $80,000 a year combined.

“It doesn’t seem right to make the middle class pay so much more in order to give health insurance to everybody else,” said Harris, who is three months pregnant. “This increase is simply not affordable.”

Jennifer Harris at least has the ability to pay the 262% increase in premiums that the Democrat’s foward looking vision for health care has delivered unto us.  Well, I assume she does.  She lives in California.  $80K/year doesn’t buy as much in the PRC as other parts of the country.
