У Обамы есть одно интересное, необьяснимое наукой, свойство - если он кого-то демонстрирует, как пример успеха своих начинаний, обьект демонстрации в ближайшее время ожидают крупные неприятности. Обычно это касалось компаний, политиков и проч., но с обамакером дошла очередь и до простых американцев.
Вот такой успех:
I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington State. And here’s what she wrote: “I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed, and I haven’t had insurance for 15 years because it’s too expensive. My son has ADHD and requires regular doctor visits and his meds alone cost $250 per month. I have had an ongoing tendinitis problem due to my line of work that I haven’t had treated. Now, finally, we get to have coverage because of the ACA for $169 per month. I was crying the other day when I signed up".
И плакала она не зря:
After Obama mentioned her story, Sanford started having problems. Sanford said she received another letter informing her the Washington state health exchange had miscalculated her eligibility for a tax credit.
In other words, her monthly insurance bill had shot up from $198 a month (she had initially said $169 a month to the White House but she switched plans) to $280 a month for the same "gold" plan offered by the state exchange.
Но и это ещё не всё:
Eventually got a second letter from Washington’s state-run exchange. That letter, according to CNN, stated that “there had been another problem, a "system error" that resulted in some "applicants to qualify for higher than allowed health insurance premium tax credits." And because of that error, Sanford would have to pay more still:
The result was a higher quote, which Sanford said was for $390 per month for a "silver" plan with a higher deductible. Still too expensive.
A cheaper "bronze" plan, Sanford said, came in at $324 per month, but also with a high deductible - also not in her budget.
Then another letter from the state exchange with even worse news.
"Your household has been determined eligible for a Federal Tax Credit of $0.00 to help cover the cost of your monthly health insurance premium payments,"
Т.е. жертва успехов Обамакера теперь имеет возможность купить изрядно подорожавшую страховку со щедрой субсидией в $0.00. Ох, не стоило ей писать письмо Обаме, не стоило...
Sanford, who is self-employed, tells CNN that she now plans to avoid purchasing health insurance entirely, because it’s simply not affordable on her budget.
За что её, натурально,оштрафуют обложат налогом. Интересно, будет ли она в 2014 голосовать за Демократов. Не исключу, что будет.
P.S. Да, Вашингтон - один из тех штатов, который имеет свою, а не федеральную биржу, и она, видимо, кое-как работает. И вот вам результат. Как федеральная заработает, не сомневаюсь, будет работать также прекрасно.
