Yahoo! News today features an Obamacare sticker shock story, yet another news outlet having to face the darker reality that the Healthcare.gov “glitches” are just the prelude to the real ObamaFail narrative.

The article by Takepart.com’s Matthew Fleischer begins with a personal glimpse into the next act of the Obamacare disaster story:

In the past month, the Obama administration has been subject to blistering criticism over its technological inability to set up working online insurance exchanges for Obamacare. The real scandal, however, is just starting to come to light—the cost of the program to young, healthy middle class people.

In California, premiums on middle class health plans are expected to jump by 30% in 2014.

I should be so lucky. I’m staring in the face of a 43 percent cost increase, for less comprehensive coverage than I have now.

The piece goes on to provide the grim details of Fleischer’s Obamcare premium reality. The numbers aren’t pretty. Fleischer expresses his genuine dismay at the failure of a program he hoped would provide relief to Americans.

I want nothing more than to provide care to the poor. And I don’t mind paying more to do so. But is it fair that I’m being priced out of medical care so that others can receive sterling care? Shouldn’t all plans be created equal?

Deeply frustrated, Fleischer eventually called on David Hogberg, senior fellow to a conservative think tank, for an explanation:

I called David Hogberg, a senior fellow at the conservative think tank National Center for Public Policy Research, to get his take. I found myself agreeing with him more than I ever thought I would.

“With regard to the exchanges, it’s people like yourself who are young and relatively healthy who are going to subsidize the sick and the elderly,” he said. “The burden is going to fall on you folks."

Anecdotal? Yes, but those statistics Fleischer cites are not. And besides, as the saying goes, the plural of anecdote is data.
