The Obamacare fanatics have yet to answer the question they used to ask conservatives:
"How will the families that have to suddenly come up with thousands of dollars extra for Obamacare, pay for it? What parts of their family budget is government forcing them to cut, to pay the increased costs of Obamacare mandated by the administration?"
For more and more people, it's not just an academic exercise. They've been stretching their budgets to keep everything covered: Paying the rent, buying food, keeping the lights on, buying clothes for their kids, etc. Now, suddenly, they find they have to pay thousands more, often for less health coverage than they used to have. Which of those other things must they cut, to get the money that government has MANDATED they pay?

Tragic: Young Mother Forced to Choose Between Obamacare Premiums and Feeding Family
Guy Benson | Oct 11, 2013
The Obama administration will rely on emotional anecdotes and incomplete data to help defend their signature law -- once its websites are fixed and people can actually enroll, that is. Critics will counter with reams of statistics proving that Obamacare violates its core promises. While empirical evidence is indispensable, it's also critical to showcase real people who are being actively harmed by the law. Meet this young, disabled mother from Allentown, Pennsylvania:

"It would take food out of our mouths to be able to afford these coverages."
Heartbreaking. Obamacare will force this woman, her husband and their five-year-old son to choose between obtaining coverage and putting food on the table. The law's "affordable" premiums will hike the family's bills by hundreds of dollars compared to their current plan. They can't afford the change, so a desperate decision awaits.
This is why so many Americans have forcefully opposed Obamacare for so long. It's not about "hating" the president. It's not about racial animus. It's not about protecting the rich. It has nothing to do with any of the red herrings proponents toss out to sully and impugn opponents' motives. The truth is that this law hurts people, breaks virtually all of the major promises upon which it was sold, and is simply unaffordable to a federal government that's already facing a long-term debt crisis.
