If you can’t read it all, it’s a liquor store/deli that also sells groceries, ice and ammo.  Guess they don’t sell guns, though.  They should have called it “Alcohol, Tobacco, and Ammo.”

“Obama Promises To Lower Health Insurance Premiums by $2,500 Per Year”

One of my Facebook friends is someone I went to High School with.  She posted this tonight:

Tonight I decided I wanted to be fully informed about what Obamacare would mean to our family if we chose to pursue it as our health insurance option. I went to the Obamacare website online. That website sent me to an insurance broker who called my home. I told him I wanted to check rates for Obamacare for our family of four. He said, “I can give you a quote but its going to be a terrible plan and more expensive than any other plan because the rates just went up 40% in North Carolina.” I pressed him to give me the rate anyway. He then quoted me a rate of $2195/month with a $14,300 deductible. (That equals basically paying $2195/month with no coverage short of a healthcare catastrophe.) I then asked him how that quote would change if my income was lower. He said that the rate would be exactly the same for anyone over a $40,000/year income. If someone making $40,000/year (only $16,717/year above the poverty level for NC) decided to sign up for Obamacare, they would be paying $26,340/year in insurance premiums plus whatever health care costs they had until they met their $14,300 deductible. (By the way, if this happened, it would mean, at that point, they would have spent more than they make/year on their healthcare.)

Who wants to sign up for that deal?

Nobody. Nobody at all.
