I really do think that the average Obama voter really did believe that Obamacare would lead to lower health insurance prices, except for mean rich Republicans perhaps. Many of them are now learning just how wrong they were:

“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,”
Go here to read the hilarious rest at the San Jose Mercury News. One of the favorite expressions of my late father was “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.” It was fairly obvious that for Obamacare to even sort of work it would need much higher insurance rates for the young and for the healthy to subsidize the old and sick. This was exacerbated with all the required coverage, no restrictions on pre-existing conditions, kids on health insurance until 26, and all the other pricy mandates on health insurance. This has been known and obvious for for years, but the members of the Obama cult and the low information voters chose to ignore it. Few things in life are more expensive than willful ignorance as many Obama voters are beginning to find out.
Stupidity amazes me:
Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”
Well who else would be paying for it?
Two possibilities:
1. They evidently thought some other constituency would be stuck with the bill (and no doubt the man who joked about siccing the IRS on his enemies in 2009 would have preferred that); or
2. Like Barbara Ehrenreich, lapsed professor of biochemistry, they actually believe the vast bulk of the country’s income is received and hoarded by some tiny elite who just have to clip their pecuniary fingernails and we all get all the medical care (and anything else) we ‘need’.
But….you mean…Obama doesn’t just have cash to throw around??
I had to spend time with some of my godless, Obama-worshiping relations.
They kept saying, ‘The only reason you people hate Barack is because he’s black.”
So it goes.
I don’t hate the sinner. I hate the sin.
All part of the plan to bring about single-payer health insurance. Like they have in Europe.
So it’s not Obama’s black half that I despise –it’s is white Euro-weenie socialist half.
Ha ha ha . . . finally realizing the free lunch was not free! Better late than never!
After Obamacare passed, my insurance more than doubled– we had to switch over to TriCare through TrueBlue’s reserve service, which is notoriously a bad idea. (Like many other former military members, I do not care for gov’t healthcare. I know how much it sucks.)
Even before that, with insurance, we had thousands in debt to pay off because of all the “helpful” laws that make it easy to cheat the hospital.
I listened to part of the news conference just now made me think of Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Trickery snared the true believer Obama voter and re-voters; and it goes on/
In “Little Red Riding Hood” by Sam the Sham of course the wolf characterizes himself as having a big heart but the wolf says “I’m gonna keep my sheep suit on
