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.

"...both birds will be sent to George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens to live out the rest of their days, which, given the track record of previous presidential turkeys, may not be long. No turkey pardoned by Obama has lived for more than two years."
