Viral Letter: University of Michigan grad claims Obamacare has ‘raped my future’

Many college students are unaware of how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect them. The law allows kids to stay on their parents health care plans until they are 26. But what happens next?

In a letter that has now gone viral, 26 year old Ashley Dionne explained her experience to radio host Dennis Prager.

"My name is Ashley Dionne and I’m a 26-year-old recent graduate from Michigan.

The phony Obamacare signup poster boy made me want to send a message about how Obamacare is really affecting people.

I graduated from The University of Michigan in 2009. In my state, this used to mean something, but even with a bachelor’s I was told I was too educated and wouldn’t stay. I watched as kids with GEDs and high school diploma’s took the low-paying jobs for which I applied.

I went back to school and got a second degree and finally found work at a gym. I work nights and only get 32 hours a week for eight dollars an hour. I’m unable to find a second job at this time.

I have asthma, ulcers, and mild cerebral palsy. Obamacare takes my monthly rate from $75 a month for full coverage on my “Young Adult Plan,” to $319 a month. After $6,000 in deductibles, of course.

Liberals claimed this law would help the poor. I am the poor, the working poor, and I can’t afford to support myself, let alone older generations and people not willing to work at all.

This law has raped my future.

It will keep me and kids my age from having a future at all.

This is the real face of Obamacare and it isn’t pretty."

How can you have an intelligent conversation with folks if they do not have critical thinking thresholds. Let see if we can think about this.....how can you talk about this article and post the same without finding out what the total amount of the subsidy was for this student. She also does not have to pick such a high deductible. She also has all of her preexisting conditions covered which if she was signing up for a new health care policy she would have none of that covered, so who would be concerned about deductibles.....she would pay 100% of those medical conditions arising from those conditions. Michigan can hardly win football games and evidently their academic standards have also tumbled because this whine article makes no sense.

It's a fake letter. If she worked 32 hrs. a week and made $8 an hour she would not be paying $319 a month. It's just more republican crap.

The Affordable Care Act is far from perfect, but this irrational fear is not being driven by facts or concern for Americans. It is being driven by special interest money. The concept is a Republican concept. The Republican Party has been hijacked by the likes of Rand Paul.

Eric Cantor is a major villian along w/ Mitch McConnell.
