Tea Party Group In Mississippi Folds, ‘We’re All Worn Out’ Says Leader Now Profiting Off Obamacare

The South Mississippi Tea Party is no more as their June 20th meeting was promoted as their last and the Sun Herald quoted the former Chairman Barry Neyrey: ““We’re all worn out. Most of our members are older people.”

As the GOP battles over supporting Donald Trump or not, groups like the Tea Party sound more and more disillusioned, primed the pass the proverbial baton to a younger, like-minded leader.

...
With some irony, Neyrey is now working on Obamacare , the bane of the Tea Party, creating software to help businesses meet upcoming deadlines for complying with IRS regulations created under the health care law.

The greedy health insurance companies have raised premiums and cut benefits. The medical providers that will take this coverage have been dwindling. Now more people cannot afford even subsidized health insurance that is not that great to begin with.

We really need to be pushing single payer harder than ever!

had to have some very expensive shots....over 5 grand.....they wouldn't cover any of it. he had to wait until June, when he hit medicare age, to treat a back that rendered him unable to stay on his feet for more than a few minutes at a time

he found a good lawyer, though, and is suing his 'insurance' company for fraudulently advertising their benefits. he chose them specifically because they said he'd be covered for the exact treatments which were denied
