Former Dem Staffer Who Fought For Obamacare Makes Huge Admission In Email

Sue Klinkhamer spent two years defending and fighting for Obamacare while working for Congressman Bill Foster (D-Ill.). But now that she’s seen the effect of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul on her health insurance rates, Klinkhamer is boldly admitting that she was “very wrong.”

In a recent email sent to her former boss, Rep. Foster, and other Democratic colleagues, she reportedly wrote [emphasis added]:

“I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can’t put in print. The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn’t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price. I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.”

So why the sudden change of heart?

She learned that President Obama’s promise, “if you like your health plan, you can keep it,” was not true for everyone.

When Foster lost his reelection bid, Klinkhamer was out of a job and in need of individual insurance. Three years ago, she reportedly paid $225 a month with a $2,500 deductible. Her rates steadily increased and she was paying $291 a month with a $3,500 deductible as of Sept. 1, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Then she got “the letter” that people across the country are currently receiving in the mail.

“Blue Cross stated my current coverage would expire on Dec. 31, and here are my options: I can have a plan with similar benefits for $647.12 [or] I can have a plan with similar [but higher] pricing for $322.32 but with a $6,500 deductible,” Klinkhamer wrote.

“Blue Cross also tells me that if I don’t pick one of the options, they will just assume I want the one for $647. … Someone please tell me why my premium in January will be $356 more than in December?” she added.

Klinkhamer says she is still a Democrat and believes in “health care for all,” but argued “this is not affordable to me.”

“Just call it, the Available Care Act,” she quipped.

Perhaps you voted for Odumbocare... whether or not you knew what you were voting for is a different issue.

Odumbo LIED when he said, "you can keep your same doctor.

Odumbo LIED when he said, "Odumbocare will lower costs".

And yet, the bleeding hearts still support his ass. How stupid and gullible can they be??

We patriots saw through his BS long ago. But how long will it be before his minions tire of his lies, lose faith and kick him to the curb??

 

Had to pass it to see what was in it. Well bitch, now that you've seen what's in it...happy now? Thanks for helping to fuck over millions of people.

 

From Newsmax:

Sen. Ron Johnson tells Newsmax he is prepared to sue the “lawless” Obama administration over its decision to grant members of Congress and their staff special treatment under Obamacare.

The Wisconsin Republican also warns that the real concern, above and beyond the dysfunctional Obamacare website, is the damage Obamacare will do the country’s healthcare system and personal freedoms.

Johnson, a successful businessman, was elected in 2010, defeating three-term Democrat Russ Feingold. He is a member of the Budget, Foreign Relations, Commerce, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees.

In an exclusive interview Monday with Newsmax TV, Johnson was asked if he believes the White House claim that it can fix the problems plaguing the Obamacare website.

"I have no idea," Johnson says. "They’ve only had 3½ years. Maybe another month would be the charm.

"Eventually the website will get fixed. It certainly should be. There are more than 5,000 websites currently on the Internet that handled more traffic than the Obamacare site in its first few weeks. So this is an entirely doable process to have a functioning website. It’s just that the federal government is not particularly effective or efficient in doing just about anything.

"The real harm of Obamacare once it becomes fully implemented is the damage it’ll cause to our healthcare system, to our federal budget, to our personal freedoms. So they may fix the website, but there’s no way they can fix the harm if Obamacare actually takes permanent root."

The president now has arbitrarily delayed the individual-mandate deadline to March after previously delaying the employer mandate by a year, yet the law grants him no authority to change dates like this.

 

And the amazing thing is, she is still a democrat, still supports Obama and socialized medicine and is immune to arguments to the contrary. She was promised something for nothing and still expects to receive it.

This is why I say liberalism is a mental disorder. No amount of rational discussion will alter these people. She probably feels Bush is somehow responsible for her predicament. And that the Tea Party is the embodiment of evil.

 

the "funny" thing is Sue, if your cost didn't explode you would still be praising the ACA due to your total ignorance, or maybe even with the knowledge that millions of other Americans were taking it up the chute. YOU deserve this, cunt.

 

+ 1

People like us tried to warn these bleeding cunts what was coming. They ignored us.
She asked for it now she's stuck with it. Fuck her and all those other naive ignorant fools who supported it. .

 

They've been trained or brainwashed to think we’re all just a bunch of backwoods extremists. They will never listen. They must learn the hard way. Unfortunately, some never will learn. Somehow, the blame will come back to us, or Bush, or someone other than their messiah and his power mad gang in congress.
