Oh dear God but the Democrats have not done right by this woman.
OLYMPIA, Nov. 17.—Jessica Sanford, the Federal Way woman who got a
shout-out from President Obama last month with her fan letter for the
Affordable Care Act, got a rather rude awakening last week. Turns out she
doesn’t qualify for a tax credit after all.
At least that’s what the letter said that she got from the state. Now she
says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She can’t afford
it. She’ll have to go without. “I’m really terribly embarrassed,” she says. “It
has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.”
The short
version is that the vaunted Washington state exchange – you know, the one that
had Democratic governor Jay Inslee bragging today about how great it is – first messed up Ms.
Sanford’s subsidy calculation. Then the exchange misled her about what would
happen if she signed her kid up for the Medicaid expansion (she’d lose the tax
credit from having a kid). So then the state exchange told Ms. Sanford that she
doesn’t actually qualify for a subsidy at all… which means that she went from a
gold plan to a silver plan and now is looking at a bronze plan that is so
pathetic that it’ll make more sense for her to eat the tax, instead… and even
then she’ll have another surprise when it turns out that she’ll owe about $350,
not $95*. Oh, and the state of Washington is possibly enrolling people on
Medicaid that they have no business enrolling in the first case. It’s hard to
say, given how bad the customer service is.
Yay,

My Take - Telling
the truth isn't unkind. It's merely the truth. This type of “un-kindness”
is....well.....a Christian ethic. Helping people overcome their flaws, so they
may become better people, and people can't get better until their flaws have
been pointed out to them. Right?
Remember, it
wouldn't be necessary to do so if they could - or would - see their own flaws and
stop stupidly braying (I used braying deliberately) the same nonsense that got
them into trouble in the first place. After you have read the story you will
understand why I'm saying this.
