The Patriot Post® · ObamaCare Horror Story

Larry Basich of Las Vegas is discovering just how convoluted and unaffordable the “Affordable” Care Act is. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, “Basich, 62, bought a plan through the state’s Nevada Health Link insurance exchange in the fall. He’s been paying monthly premiums since November. Yet the Las Vegan is stranded in a no-man’s-land where no carrier claims him, and his tab is mounting: Basich owes $407,000 for care received in January and February, when his policy was supposed to be in effect. Instead, he’s covered only for March and beyond.” Interestingly, the Review-Journal adds this little tidbit: “Even [Harry] Reid, who took flak for his Feb. 26 statement that ‘all’ Obamacare ‘horror stories’ are ‘untrue,’ is trying to help.” Perhaps he’d be of most help by publicly admitting he lied, and that ObamaCare is not the health solution everyone’s looking for. We can dream at least.
