‘Not quite the way they sold it’: Kirsten Powers’ premiums skyrocket

On @megynkelly show @kirstenpowers10 just said her insurance is jumping from $160 a month to $300 a month because of Obamacare.

Twitchy has brought you the stories of many who have learned that even though they liked their insurance plan, all they got to keep was the cancellation notice and higher premiums. One high-profile person in that group is Fox News political analyst Kirsten Powers, a Democrat who Thursday night told host Megyn Kelly of her own experience with Obamacare.

Talking to @megynkelly @kirstenpowers10 reveals she was not able to keep her healthcare plan, and the replacement has higher premiums.

@verumserum And she's denouncing her Liberal logic now right?

@RagCon She says she is willing to pay more if an extra 30 million get covered, but she now doubts that will happen.

Apparently, if the rest of President Obama’s promises come true and all of America’s uninsured find themselves with affordable health plans, it will have been worth it to Powers. That doesn’t seem likely, though, with what we’ve been able to learn about enrollment numbers.

@RagCon Yes. And had they made the cost clear in 2010 this would never have passed.

Noble that @kirstenpowers10 wants to pay more so others can receive healthcare. Has anyone told her about charity rather than govt theft?
