Leftwing editor turns angrily against Obamacare, calls Obama you piece of sh*t used-car salesman

Another O-Bot that didnt listen
Harry Reid is going to have a hard time portraying Will Pitt as a Koch brothers shill
William Rivers Pitt, a leftwing editor at TruthOut, whose foibles have been chronicled in NewsBusters and is probably best known for his journalism scoop of predicting the indictment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006, is back in the spotlight again. While waiting 24 business hours to elapse for the Rove indictment to finally take place, Pitt shocked many at the Democratic Underground by posting an extremely angry attack, What Ive learned about the Affordable Care Act, upon Obamacare due to a bad personal experience with it. In order to fully appreciate how far Pitt has turned against Obamacare, we need to go to his DU post back in December when he was proclaiming his love for Obamas signature plan
before he even experienced it:
Well, I just had my first experience with the Healthcare.gov website
Creating a user name and account: easy.
Plowing through all the questions: easy.
Alas, I logged out to track down some personal info, and when I tried to log back in, it said the system was currently down.
but then, Ermahgerd! A phone number: 800-318-2596
And its toll-free, too!
So Ill be calling in the morning to finish the process.
No. Big. Deal.
Thanks, Obama.
Yes, Pitt was thanking Obama before he had personally experienced Obamacare. And now, after having his Obamacare Moment, Pitt has moved from praising to cursing the President. A warning for those with tender sensibilities: although I have cleaned up Pitts harsh language, many will still find it offensive:
What Ive learned after a three-month war with these fiends: the ACA says the insurance companies cannot deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, which is true as far as it goes. But they can deny coverage for the life-saving medications necessary to treat those conditions. The insurance company I signed up with through the ACA exchange just denied coverage of my wifes multiple sclerosis medication. Were covered, to the tune of $700 a month
just not for what she really needs.
A cozy loophole, that.
F you, insurance industry.
F you, Mr. President, you piece of sh*t used-car salesman.
From my heart and soul, f you.

Gotta love it when they can use "our" own words against us.
