With Affordable Care Act, canceled policies for NYC professionals

With Affordable Care Act, canceled policies for NYC professionals. “Many in New York’s professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama’s health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it.” That’s a shame. Oh, well.

  • Well shit, it happened to them as well. What will they do now? Sort of like being unemployed and able to pursue their dreams. No job and no health insurance. They signed up for it and now they have it. SUCKERS!!!

  • Serves them right, they were warned. Now they'll be crying for single payer, because their premiums are too high.

  • Bravo! Useful idiots, getting exactly as they deserve, for helping install this nightmare on the American people.

  • As Gomer Pyle used to say "SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE". Now bend over, more to come up your way. Now all you communist libtards can vote for Hilary to get even more reaming.

    • It's the fault of the eveeeeel Tea Party. If they hadn't pushed that eveeeel Ted Cruz to shut the benevolent and all-caring government down, causing the unicorn farts to go unclaimed, ObummerCare would be well on its way to success.

  • Get out the tiny, tiny, violins again, and get them ready for a Carnegie Hall performance. Featuring the debut of a new concerto, "I Guess My Insurance Sucked And I Was Just Too Stupid To Know It."
