So, let me get this straight. Ms. Pineman (the subject of this New York Times article) is a loyal Obama voter and Obamacare supporter. So, she accepted the following:
- That her plan – which she liked – would go away. Despite being told – explicitly – that if she liked her plan, she could keep her plan.
- That her new plan would not pay for her favored doctor. Despite being told – explicitly – that if she liked her doctor, she could keep her doctor.
- That her premiums would be going up. Despite being told – explicitly – that her costs would go down.
- That her networks would shrink. Despite being told – explicitly – that the quality of her coverage would not suffer.
- That her co-pay for an emergency room visit went through the roof. No explicit promise that I can remember on this one, but it’s always fun to watch an Obamacare supporter discover this particular wrinkle.
