Now the Dems are threatening TV stations for carrying anti-ObamaCare ads. (see the video).

Editor's notes:  Keep in mind that Julie Boonstra’s 6,000 dollar deductible is not a fixed, written in stone,  amount.  It will increase year after year as will her monthly premiums.  Understand that her complaint is first and foremost,  the fact that Obama promised her she could keep her insurance.  With her previous policy,  she knew what her expenses were going to be.  With the new policy,  she does not.  Under her first policy, an additional procedure was paid for.  Under the ObamaCare policy,  some new procedures are not allowed  (who knows what those procedure are,  at this time?) and she has to come up with as much as $6,000 in addition to her monthly premiums.  It makes no difference whether she comes out "even," with this new policy, no difference at all.  The fact of the matter is this: she was told she could keep her insurance, "period,"  and that was a bold faced lie.  

We all know that ObamaCare is a “bait and switch” federal program.  That is what all the lying is about.  Ms Boonstra should have been allowed to keep her policy but that was never going to happen,  and,  now,  she does not know what the future holds.  None of us know.    


From the Washington Examiner: 
While Julie Boonstra of Dexter, Mich., struggles to survive leukemia, she now also has to cope with being called a liar by the Democrat who wants to be her next senator.

And the campaign of Rep. Gary Peters is also going after television stations airing ads in which her story is featured, threatening their licenses.

The ad by Americans for Prosperity features Boonstra talking about how her insurance was canceled under Obamacare and saying that Peters' decision to vote for the law "jeopardized my health." The ads are airing in Michigan as Peters seeks the Democratic nomination to replace Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who is not seeking re-election.

Media organizations investigating the ad's claims note that Boonstra was able to find comparable new insurance under the law; the Washington Post's "Fact Checker" blog gave the ad "two Pinocchios" (as compared to four for President Obama's claim that people could keep their insurance under the law).

But Boonstra, in response, told the local Dexter Leader newspaper that though she has no idea whether she will break even with her new plan, as the fact-checkers claim, the uncertainty of having to restructure her health care while coping with a deadly disease is damage enough.

"People are asking me for the numbers and I don't know those answers -- that's the heartbreak of all of this. It's the uncertainty of not having those numbers that I have an issue with, because I always knew what I was paying and now I don't, and I haven't gone through the tests or seen my specialist yet," she said.

"People don't have that certainty -- they don't have the stability of knowing every month what they're going to be paying now and it's the ability to actually have that sum of money to pay. People don't have these out-of -pocket expense moneys."
