The name Hunter Alford might not mean anything to you, but it should. Hunter is a young child in Texas who was born with a rare type of cancer and lost his health insurance when Obamacare went into effect.

The name Whitney Johnson might not mean anything to you, but it should. Whitney is a young mother who suffers from multiple sclerosis and lost her health insurance thanks to Obamacare.

Whitney can’t afford to buy the unnecessary, more expensive insurance that complies with the so-called Affordable Care Act. Hunter is hospitalized and needs $50,000 worth of chemotherapy.

A woman named Edie Littlefield Sundby recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2 percent after diagnosis. … My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31.”

She now faces the choice of getting coverage through the government health exchange and losing access to her cancer doctors, or pay 40-50 percent more to start over with an different insurance company and worse benefits.

The Los Angeles Times reported that on average, Californian “middle class consumers face an estimated 30 percent rate increase” in what they pay for health insurance. For a lot of people and families, paying 30 percent more for health insurance isn’t financially possible.

One of the Californians negatively hurt by Obamacare is Jennifer Harris, who is three months pregnant and being forced to replace her $98 per month health insurance, which doesn’t comply with new regulations. The cheapest replacement she’s found comes at $238 per month.

Americans have been losing their health insurance plans that they were guaranteed to keep since Obamacare’s disastrous rollout. And millions are being forced to pay huge increases in their monthly premiums.

Obamacare advocates spent the past few years trying to convince people that no one would be without health insurance under Obamacare. President Obama assured Americans that if we liked our plans and doctors, we could keep them.

Watching Obamacare supporters continue to argue – after admitting that yes, some people have lost their health insurance and doctors – that we should just try to use healthcare.gov, the faulty health care exchange site that keeps crashing, during “off peak” hours, is really pathetic. It’s even more pathetic to watch Democrats and their cronies claim that opponents of Obamacare are somehow heartless for not wanting the government to decide which doctors we see or whether we can keep the health insurance we need.

Perhaps the worst claim Obamacare proponents make is that they care about middle class families, who face higher premiums and roughly 20 new taxes.

As people from all walks of life come forward with Obamacare horror stories, this catastrophic new law will continue to be exposed for what it is: government control and bureaucracy at their finest.
