President Obama ran both of his campaigns on the premise that he would create a universal, affordable health care plan, replete with options. He followed through on one part of that promise: Obamacare was implemented last week, but it is neither affordable nor teeming with options for consumers, according to WAFF-AL.

Father of six and small business owner, Jeremy Nichols, is experiencing the ill effects of Obamacare firsthand. He recently received an ominous letter from BlueCross BlueShield telling him that his current insurance plan will be cancelled and suggested another one at a much higher rate. The insurance magnate will increase Nichols’ rate from $463 to $1,012.47, a nearly 300 percent increase, for the exact amount of coverage. Of the increase, Nichols said 'I didn’t know what to think, it’s quite a bit.'
