Low information Obama voters shocked to discover they can't buy low-cost health insurance
College students in New Jersey voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. And now they're shocked to discover that his signature legislative achievement hits them where it hurts, in the pocketbook.
It was a health care shocker for college students in New Jersey who found out that they can't buy low-cost health insurance at their schools because of the Affordable Care Act.
Now, they are at the risk of being without insurance, CBS 2's Christine Sloan reported.
Many students have found themselves in health care limbo this semester. Community colleges in New Jersey used to offer cheap health insurance for hundreds of dollars a year but they had to drop the practice because Federal Law prohibits the sale of bare bones policies.
Under the Affordable Care Act it would have cost more to run the program and the cost would have been passed on to students.
"More than a thousand dollars per student and that is dramatically different," said Union County Community College, Vice President of Administrative Services, Stephen Nacco said.
Students like Carlos Arias depended on the low-cost health care.
"I'm kind of healthy right now but I am worried that when something happens I'm not going to go to the hospital," Arias said.
Hey Carlos, this is the part where I get to say "I told you so."
Here's a future Obama Administration spokesman with your president's official statement on your situation:
My advice to you is to start drinking, heavily.
And that sound you hear? It's me, laughing my ass off on the Schadenfreude Express.
