Scott Brown was in the home of New Hampshire Republican Herb Richardson doing the Republican usual spiel on Obamacare when he found out Obamacare was saving the guy $12,000 a year in health insurance and probably was keeping him from going into bankruptcy. Of course he quickly changed topics after learning it wasn't going anywhere
Brown found that out on Saturday, when he stopped by the home of Herb Richardson, a Republican state representative. Sitting in Richardson's home, Brown called Obamacare a "monstrosity" that members of Congress didn't even bother to read before they passed. At that point, according to the Coos County Democrat, Richardson chimed in to explain that the law had been a "financial lifesaver" for him and his wife. From the the piece (page 14):
Richardson was injured on the job and was forced to live on his workers' comp payments for an extended period of time, which ultimately cost the couple their house on Williams Street. The couple had to pay $1,100 a month if they wanted to maintain their health insurance coverage under the federal COBRA law.
Richardson said he only received some $2,000 a month in workers' comp. payments, however, leaving little for them to live on.
"Thank God for Obamacare!" his wife exclaimed.
Now, thanks to the subsidy for which they qualify, the Richardsons only pay $136 a month for health insurance that covers them both.
Assuming that you are a productive tax paying citizen of this country (I know, that's a big assumption) how does it make you feel knowing that your hard earned tax dollars are going towards the health insurance of this Republican and his Republican wife?
How high are Richardson's deductibles? What are his out-of-pocket maximums? When premiums decrease, other expenses increase. That's practically a law of physics. Health/home owners/car insurance all work the same way, as do car leases. Want that new 5-series BMW car payment to be under $450 a month? Better plan on spending $5000 up front -- minimum.
Stop falling for the shell game.
And really, a HuffPo article?
You can do better than this........I'm willing to bet a motorized scooter on it!
You gotta admit this is another Republican on the public dole...Or should I say the Obamacare dole financed by Democrats? Republicans seem to have a knack for finding handouts and then bashing handouts.

Under Obamacare the Out of pocket maximum you can be charged is capped regardless of the plan. Its not like the scam insurance that existed before with something like a $10,000 maximum coverage or a $500,000 deductable.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....another "crap" plan with nothing to back up what was stated....
And a typical leftist response...I have no clue, but if I jack up the numbers it will look more impressive when I lie...

As the midterm elections near, stay tuned for more democrat sponsored "stories" (like the one above) about the wonderful benefits of Obamacare. All of the issues regarding higher costs, people losing thier insurance, and patients losing thier doctors will be silenced in the media.
This is like "1984"- we have a media that has become a propaganda unit for Obama.
Well, it is a fiscally conservative law started by conservatives..
Well, when you are able to provide a line by line comparriassion of the law you speak of and the law which was voted for by ONLY dems....then you may be believeable...maybe

Why are you upset that people are doing what you want them to do?
