Obamacare's Hidden Costs

| Obamacare raises the price on everything related to health care, even the health care for the lawmakers and their staff. | |
| But the trick is that every American is actually paying for every lawmaker and their staff's health care. | |
| Right now they have an Obamacare fix that will actually include a 75% subsidy because lawmakers and staff say their insurance is too expensive without being subsidized. | |
| So Senator David Vitter proposed an amendment that would end subsidies for the President, VP Cabinet, Secretaries, and all political appointees. | |
| I think John Roberts, you know, he loves Obamacare so much. | |
| Supreme Court Justice. | |
| He should get it. | |
| Right now he's getting a federal employee subsidy. | |
| He's not part of Obamacare. | |
| So he makes the rest of America, through I think convoluted constitutional logic, he makes us get Obamacare, but he's exempt. | |
| Another glitch which hits Americans right in their pocketbook is the family glitch in the law. | |
| Congress defined affordable as 9.5% or less of an employee's household income. | |
| The error is in that it applies only to the employee and not their family. | |
| So if the rest of the family is not covered by the employee's insurance, they cannot get subsidized through the exchanges. | |
| These glitches are what happens when lawmakers like Pelosi make decisions. | |
| But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it. | |
| In the lower premium networks, families may not pay a lot per month, but their doctors that they might need later, their specialists, may not be in the network, so they'll have to pay an out-of-network fee, which will end up costing them a lot more. | |
| And on CNN Money, a person in California making under $17,235 a year pays $57 a month in insurance, plus out-of-pocket costs. | |
| A person making under $28,725 a year will have to fork out about $193 a month, plus out-of-pocket costs. | |

| Surprisingly, Wyoming has the highest premium at $516 a month. | |
| And that's just in this category for an individual. | |
| So what will people do when they have to make a choice between paying for their health care and paying for their car payment or their mortgage? | |
