Lying Liars And The Way They Lie

the lying wingnut blogger who lies posts:

Obamacare is increasing health-insurance premiums at the fastest rate in decades. And, as the LA Times notes, this especially burdens the working poor.

but what does the l.a. times article actually say?

Garnaus acknowledges that insurance will be good for her health and finances in the long run but says she’s barely able to cover the increased monthly costs. With government subsidies, her monthly insurance premiums are $13.50, and co-pays to see her oncologist are $20. When lab work or a CT scan is required, it can cost up to $100 more.

you see, under obamacare she can get health insurance, which she didn’t have at all before, despite her pre-existing condition - cancer. and she can get it at the subsidized price of $13.50/mo. what the article describes is how even a $100 charge is a difficult burden for somebody surviving as marginally as she is

marginally - um, she makes $22,908 a year but has her own apartment at $1,180/mo rent, so basically her apartment eats up almost all of her income

that’s her real problem

anyway, THE WINGNUT BLOGGER DOESN’T CARE WHAT THE ARTICLE ACTUALLY SAYS, SHE JUST GOES AHEAD AND LIES

gah

I doubt you can find an $1180/mo apt in Laguna Woods, from what I’ve read. She may have a Section 8 subsidy, unless she has a roommate. And there there are utilities, a phone, etc.
