    ...A South Carolina man was diagnosed with cancer and his old insurance was providing him with the doctors and treatment he needed, but that insurance has been cancelled because Obamacare regulations. His new options are so expensive that he’s decided to give up and “let nature take its course” rather than put his family under the financial strain of paying for the new insurance that Obamacare requires.

  2. He should move to Texas instead of giving up and dying and leaving a wife and kids who need him. From the blue cross blue shield website in texas for a family of four, I guessed his and his wife's age at 46. The cheapest Bronze plan is $560.66 with an individual max out of pocket of $6000. The most expensive Gold plan is $1,287.14 with a $1000 deductible and individual max out of pocket of $3000.

  3. So if we lie to the government it's a felony, but when they lie to us it's just politics? Sure is nice to write the laws yourself. The mob is green with envy.

  4. I call bullshit on fox gossip ahh I mean news.
    A little fact checking from the South Carolina BlueChoice web site. A policy for an individual male non tobacco user 46 years old is - Bronze Out of pocket max $6350 with a $6350 ded for 311.95 per month
    Up to the Gold Out of pocket max $ $6350 with a $1000 ded for 434.73 per month.

  7. We should all be aware that however bad this is, it is just the tip of the iceberg. Just wait until this hits business next year.
    The roughly 5% being canceled only speaks to the individual plans. Once the price hikes start hitting small businesses there will be millions more plans canceled for failure to comply with the new rules. Some businesses will quit offering insurance altogether. Many will opt to quit covering spouses as UPS has done. Others will reduce employee hours to avoid the mandate. The total number of plans cancelled will be somewhere between 93 million and 129 million depending on if you go with the administrations own estimates from 2010, or more rational ones from industry experts now. Either way millions, hundreds of millions of people are going to lose their insurance, or find themselves going broke to pay for the "new and improved" government plan that Obama and crew have decided to provide.
    A year from now this gets really ugly, and a year ain't much.
    If Nov. 2014 elections don't bring a complete overall in the house and senate, enough to repeal this leftist IED called Affordable Care Act, the economy will collapse in 2015. Martial law by 2016, and the elections get put on hold is a real possibility. Couple years ago I myself would have said that's tinfoil conspiracy stuff. After witnessing the past few months, I'm not so sure anymore.

    The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

    A month after the launch of the Affordable Care Act, designed to get more people insured at a lower price, premiums have gone up 40% and millions have lost their insurance.


    The left defends it. They say we're too stupid to know we're going to be better off.
