The Patriot Post® · Just Give Up Your Phone

Can’t afford ObamaCare? Just get rid of cable television and cell phones. At least that’s what Barack Obama said recently when asked how low-income Americans now forced to buy comprehensive health insurance can afford to do so. “[I]f you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill … it may turn out that it’s just they haven’t prioritized health care.” He may or may not have a fair economic point on what people choose to afford – after all, the “poor” in the U.S. have more amenities than the wealthy did 50 years ago – but didn’t he promise that ObamaCare would be affordable? Why yes, it’s even in the law’s name.
