Anyone who reads a newspaper in North Carolina is
well aware that the majority of them are mouthpieces for the Democratic Party. We are now witnessing a collusion between
regional outlets, cutting and pasting articles in an attempt to influence
policy decisions in Raleigh.
This past Sunday, the Charlotte Observer featured an
article by one of their staff and her co-writer from the News and
Observer. And I’m sure the latter published
their version on Sunday as well. You can
read both articles by clicking the links below.
What these two papers did was create a template featuring a victim from
their area and proceeded to blame the Republicans for their woes. It is basically the same article with a
different face, in a different region.
I’ve learned a long time ago not to trust the
mainstream media, and as with all victim pieces, these reporters usually don’t
tell the whole truth. There are certain
qualifications that have to be met for Medicaid. Below is the link.
The liberals that run these papers are ticked off
that North Carolina didn’t accept the “free money” from the federal government
that would have expanded the Medicaid rolls an additional 500,000 people. Yet, they couldn’t care less about the
families who are being forced out of their current health insurance policies
because of Obamacare. Here are a few
victims who wrote to Rep. Richard Hudson
of North Carolina’s 8th Congressional District:
- “I just want to put a name with
how the Affordable Care Act will affect my family of four. I am 45 years
old and self-employed. Under the ACA, a similar policy to what I have now
will increase my premiums from $669 per month to $968 per month. The new
plan also reduces what my policy pays once I reach my $5,450 deductible
from 100% to 50%. I do not qualify for any subsidies or tax credits. This
will greatly affect my family and I am uncertain as to how this is
considered a fair policy. I am giving this information because I
truly do not believe anyone in Washington understands the actual costs to
average citizens and the negative impact this legislation will have on our
economy as a whole.”
- "I received my “Obamacare”
letter in the mail yesterday from Blue Cross Blue Shield. My monthly
premium went from a little over $700 to nearly $1,600. Quite
frankly, I most likely will join the ranks of uninsured
Americans."
- “I am a self-employed mother of
3 including one foster daughter we hope to adopt. My husband is also
self-employed. Therefore, we have paid for our own health insurance
policies for the past 7 years. I received a letter from BCBSNC this week
stating that, due to the ACA, our premium would increase almost $200.00
per month while our benefits would decrease. Our deductible will go from $5,000
to $10,000. I am beyond concerned about what this change will do to my
family and our ability to continue to pay for our healthcare. I understand
this act was passed to provide insurance to those who could not previously
afford it and in 2014 my family will join that plight... I find it
outrageous that as a tax-paying American citizen, I do not have the right
to choose whether or not I have health insurance.”
Hey all you Observers that infest the Old North
State, there are plenty of other victims of Obamacare that you can report on. But unfortunately they don't fit your template.
