Where's Jon Stewart...

Because I swear he couldn't have written an Obamacare skit as good as this one.  After proudly standing in the the rose garden to be happily pointed out as an example of how the ACA works, things have gone a bit downhill for Jessica Sanford.  You see, it appears that there was a glitch, and her gold level policy was not as affordable as thought, jumping from $198 to $280 per month.  Ok, not great news, but not the worst.  Then comes another letter about another glitch.  Now her cost $390, and it was a silver plan, not a gold plan.  Ouch.  But then the now busy mail carrier brought more tidings, this time telling her that as a result of another glitch, she actually does not qualify for any tax credits.  And her cost for a bronze plan is now $324 per month, still more than she can fit in her budget.  However, there is good news.  Her penalty to the IRS for not having insurance is only $95.  So as you can see, the ACA works, making everyone participate to move healthcare into the 21st century, whether they can afford it or not.
