Fox News: I was an ObamaCare guinea pig

Fantastic post (again) by Sally Kohn on the Fox site… cracks me up how heads explode over there under anything she writes

I signed up. I saved. And so will millions of Americans.

…. I logged onto the New York State health insurance exchange website. Yeah, I had a few false starts – the website was down a lot early on either because of service glitches or overwhelming traffic … But finally, I was able to log-in and complete my registration and check out all my options for insurance.

There were literally 50 plans that were better than my current insurance …Within a week, I had settled on a “gold” plan offered by Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield … This option will cost my family $931 per month — $408 per year less than my previous crappy plan and a $5,000 savings in deductibles. A big win for me and my family financially and in terms of what’s covered.

Plus in the past, I spent several days looking for and comparing insurance options. Under ObamaCare, even with the slow and sticky website, I spent a total of four hours — to save over $5,400. That kind of return on investment would make Warren Buffett drool.

Ideologues may not like ObamaCare, but my wallet and my family’s health sure do.

the greater their rage will grow. How I do love watching the backlash, and I'll bet this is just the tip of the iceberg.
