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."

Another person shared a link found on the federal government's main Obamacare page listing premium estimates for small business employers:
The information is not very complete as I don't see anything about deductible or other detailed info, but it does given an actual price as to the "Premium." It is VERY SCARY!! For example, my insurance plan right now for my spouse and I costs $545 a month with 100% coverage after my $2500 deductible. We are both 32 years old. When I looked at this site for 80% coverage it says it will be $954.78 a month!!!! So compare my old Plan: 100% coverage for $545 a month To New Plan: 80% Coverage for $945 a month. This is only only an estimate but it is VERY Scary for me to see this kind of increase in rates and reduction in benefits!

Our health insurance is going up 257%. The law should be called "Unaffordable Care Act."

We told you so...and were called racists for pointing out what anyone with 3rd grade economic experience could have deduced....

This is the Democrat's way to rob Americans and pay down the national debt (through the fines collected from those who have given all of their info and now realize they can't afford these trumped up health care policies). It's got nothing to do with universal health care coverage.., just another of this POS's scams to steal from honest people. And, this scam is particularly tragic because he is targeting those who can least afford to lose a single dollar let alone hundreds and thousands. Barack Hussein Obama II/Barry Soetoro is an evil, evil man.

Support your hard working (?) Congressmen standing in the way of funding this cross state lines, it's okay. These folks need the reassurance.

Please, write the supporters of defunding, and sign petitions against it!abomination by writing them emails, reassuring them they are doing the right thing.

FEMA zone 3. I looked it up and there are a ton of sites talking about a catastrophic event headed our way? Whether it be nuclear, natural or some type of virus. I can see why people get so wound up reading those sites.

I guess you haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in D.C. lately, and continues to happen.

SOME people are DOING something about it. Others, like you, on spouting nonsense on the computer.
