Former MSNBC Host’s Health Plan Cancelled, New Plan Costs 3.5 Times More

[Max E.]

LOL

“Thnx Mr. President.” That’s all former MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan had to say to President Barack Obama on Thursday when he announced that the health insurance plan he purchased on the individual market after leaving the news network was being cancelled. The new plan he was eligible would cost him 3.5 times more than his previous plan.

“I bought a catastrophic health policy for $170/mo when I left MSNBC,” Ratigan confessed. “Obamacare cancelled the policy. New rate $600/mo. Thnx Mr. President!”

His tweet admission was met with a flurry of ACA supporters who attempted to explain to Ratigan why he should welcome the elimination of his previous plan. Ratigan’s subsequent tweets consist of debating his followers who advocated for the abolition of simple, catastrophic coverage plans.

He's considered one of the finest catchers to ever play the game.

Despite this, Hall of Famer Johnny Bench announced via Twitter Monday that his insurance has been cancelled:

Maybe when enough of them get screwed, they'll wake up and back away from their fervent support of Communist Odumbo.

(I doubt it, but you know, maybe.)

Madness. Obama is majorly messing shit up. Probably a stepping stone for complete nationalization of the healthcare system.

^ another ignorant douchebag getting what he deserves. I'd like to laugh at him but these people get me heated. If HIS plan didn't change he would be bashing reps and praising obama. typical liberal, pushing every program he can to help the 'less fortunate'... as long as it's financed by opm.
