At the end, this woman, now with at least the same insurance coverage and a cap on yearly expenses not possible prior to the ACA, simply refuses to accept the FACTS of her situation, as reported by the Detroit Free Press. "That can't possibly be true".
The cognitive dissonance she must be suffering from, once confronted with fact, has to be so substantial it will liquify her brain and it will pour out her ears!
We cannot allow these fucking greedy ass oligarchs to win by money and lies!
My COBRA finally ran out end of last Sept. About $850 a month for me alone. I tried to get a private policy "the old way" from a local broker and applied to Aetna, the same carrier on my COBRA. did the dance and they declined to cover me because I was overweight, took meds for depression (since the late 90's on and off) and had gone to a chiropractor within the last year. (Pre-existing condition = chronic pain.)
Fortunately for me, Connecticut is a progressive well run state and I got ins. last October 1st through a state run Connecticare plan. I don't know if it's comparable to my COBRA line by line, but my primary concern is to prevent medical bankruptcy should I get really sick or in an accident or come down with cancer. I currently pay $357 a month for health insurance now and I don't need a fucking employer to get health insurance ever again! Note my current payment is LESS THAN HALF of my COBRA, which gets cut off after 18 months.
Sorry to be crude, but these Koch's and their peer group are simply outright treacherous heartless greedy sociopathic MOTHERFUCKERS! The entirety of these .01% ANIMALS should be driven forever away from polite society!
