Brian Beutler in Salon this morning... “A Dexter cancer patient featured in a conservative group’s TV ad campaign who denounced her new health care coverage as ‘unaffordable’ will save more than $1,000 this year under the plan, The Detroit News has learned.” (They’re referring to Julie Boonstra, whose story we’ve examined multiple times, and have confirmed what I and others long suspected.) That’s not to diminish the annoyance and uncertainty she felt when her old plan was eliminated, but to say that the premise of her complaint about her new plan is wrong. AFP probably doesn’t care; it’s just as likely that they never bothered to check. Here’s what Boonstra had to say. When advised of the details of her Blues’ plan, Boonstra said the idea that it would be cheaper “can’t be true.” “I personally do not believe that,” Boonstra said. Of possible relevance to her incredulity: “Boonstra is the ex-wife of Mark Boonstra, the former Washtenaw County GOP chairman whom Gov. Rick Snyder appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals in 2012.”
