Her insurance is being canceled, and she is dismayed that neither her pediatrician nor her general practitioner appears to be on the exchange plans. What to do has become a hot topic on Facebook and at dinner parties frequented by her fellow writers and artists.
"I'm for it," she said. "But what is the reality of it?"

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

So deserving of a giant helping of schadenfreude.
Let's hope she and the rest of the dimwits who have been carrying Barry's bath water enjoy what they have sown.
The unreality of being progressive...or you may be progressive if..
"But what is the reality of it?"
The reality is that you are an idiot
They were all in favour of it until they realized they (not somebody else) had to pay for it.
They obviously aren't paying their fair share. Let the mf'ers burn in hell.
A whole lot of liberals are getting mugged...
Bwahahahahaha.....
But funny how they calm down when they hear its because of the aca....and note how it is now aca and not obamacare amongst the chattering class. That means it has definitely been a failure. Wait till it hits employer plans and all the media companies move to cut costs....cause you know media companies are so darned profitable right now.
Perfect storm!
"I'm for it," she said. "But what is the reality of it?" I've got 50 bucks that says she WON'T be for the "reality of it".
"neither her pediatrician nor her general practitioner appears to be on the exchange plans"
Perhaps Obama could enslave the medical profession?
I always laugh when I hear Amercians talk about their paediatrician. Wanna know the reality of government run health care - paediatricians are for kids with life threatening illnesses. Everybody else goes to their GP.
"I'm for it," she said. "But what is the reality of it?"
Wish in one hand then sh!t in the other, see which one gets full faster.
She is why democracy is failing, every fool's vote is equal to every wise man's.
Getting what you voted for, good and hard?
This is the reason sane citizens have come to despise the MSM.
The media has special privileges to allow it to speak truth to power.
Human nature being such, that political types never see any limit to their reach, they must be ruthlessly watched and curbed on every overreach of good sense and due process.
The western media has betrayed the taxpayer, hence their new label, Presstitutes, fawning sycophants to power, obscurers of scandal and fellow lappees at the trough of public wealth.
It is so bad in Canada that these urnalists have run for public office, been appointed to the Senate and feel compelled to insist they know how Canadians must vote.
When did supporting lazy,incompetent thieves become a virtue in Journalism school?
I have a lot of friends in the U.S. and about half are Obama fans (which seems to be the demographic). I've started out many an email lately with "So how's that Obamacare thing working out for you?". The ones who dislike Obama are quick to return an expletive laced outburst. The fans of BO are notoriously silent.
As for the ladies in the article, I say "suck it up, buttercup".
I am really enjoying this BTW.
It's easy to be a liberal when you think someone else is paying the freight...
Let them fry on the BBQ they made.
I love the Irony.
The left has finally run into the wall they cried didn't exist.
Calm down..
Remember its all George Bush's fault and Sarah Palin's is still an idiot.. This is all that your required to know.
If your still struggling with the costs and inconvenience think guns, pickup trucks and rednecks.. Remember how much better you are than them..
Relax finish that bottle of wine, everything's going to be alright..
Obama's got your back :)
