Obamacare works just like we were told

At the dermatologist’s office on Tuesday, a doctor’s assistant said she does not pay attention to politics.

“Not at all,” she said. “When my husband and my brother talk about politics, I leave the room. I want nothing to do with it.”

For someone who does not pay attention to what is going on, she is greatly affected by that which she ignores.

She then mentioned her 16-year-old autistic daughter’s health insurance.

“I was notified last month the premiums are going from $200 a month to $600 a month. I cannot afford that, so right now my daughter does not have insurance, and for that I will have to pay a fine.”

My wife suggested Medicare, since the girl was diagnosed as autistic.

“I tried that, but I was told I make too much money,” she said.

She also said the Medicare person said she should work less hours and get her pay low enough so her daughter would qualify.

Right. Tell your employer you no longer can work full time. And keep your usual lifestyle – same house, make car payments and put the same amount and quality of food on the table.

The government is doing a great job.
