And this is viewed (by her and the White House apparently) as too high of a  cost for a person to pay for their health care? No &#8211; it&#8217;s actually not.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what &#8211; those &#8220;technical  details&#8221; are billions and billions of dollars. What money tree has been  found to pay for that? Who exactly will be covering her $8500 portion now?  But no &#8211; people don&#8217;t want to think about that.  They&#8217;ll think about that tomorrow&#8230;when it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>WTH is  wrong with people? Why shouldn&#8217;t you have to pay a portion of your own  health care costs?? It is ridiculous, and frankly disgusting, that the  House is trying to sneak such a huge piece of legislation through. And  the reason they want to sneak it through is because they know they can&#8217;t  get it done any other way.<\/p>\n<p>Disgusting. Worst Congress in recent history.<br \/>\n<em> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The White House emphasized the human benefits over the technical details, returning repeatedly to a letter Obama received from an Ohio cancer patient who wrote that she gave up her health insurance after the cost rose to $8,500 a year.&#8221; http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20100316\/ap_on_bi_ge\/us_health_care_overhaul So wait a second&#8230;this woman, who has cancer, gave up her health insurance which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[249,43],"tags":[414,1241],"class_list":["post-2131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-rants","tag-healthcare","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2131"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2137,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2131\/revisions\/2137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a99kitten.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
