Even the Daily Kos bombs Obamacare

Now we find out that the reason healthcare.gov makes the visitor create an account before viewing the available insurance plans is to keep nosy bloggers and others from seeing the price of the insurance premiums. As I have maintained there are no good deals except for the sickly and the poor, the latter which will qualify for Medicaid.
My wife and I just got our updates from Kaiser telling us what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly has been $168 this year, mine $150. We have a high deductible. We are generally healthy people who don’t go to the doctor often. I barely ever go. The insurance is in case of a major catastrophe.
Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife’s rate is gong to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.
I am canceling insurance for us and I am not paying any fucking penalty. What the hell kind of reform is this?
Oh, ok, if we qualify, we can get some government assistance. Great. So now I have to jump through another hoop to just chisel some of this off. And we don’t qualify, anyway, so what’s the point?
Well, the point of my post is that even the left is running from Obamacare. The writer was Tirge Caps and the post appeared in the Daily Kos. Read the comments. The readers all blame the insurance company except for those who think the author is confused.

This is encouraging but no, it does not resonate with the commentators. The writer is called a troll and the loyalists are called Kossacks. I don't think these people will put down the Kool-Aid anytime soon.
