Remember Chad Henderson? He quickly became the face of Obamacare after he enrolled in the health care program. And now, we may have found his polar opposite. 26-year-old college graduate Ashley Dionne posted an anti-Obamacare message on her Tumblr and the Facebook pages of conservative radio hosts like Dennis Prager, and it has gone viral overnight.

The person, who says they live in Michigan, claims the following:

I work nights and only get 32 hours a week for eight dollars an hour. I’m unable to find a second job at this time.

I have asthma, ulcers, and mild cerebral palsy. Obamacare takes my monthly rate from $75 a month for full coverage on my “Young Adult Plan,” to $319 a month. After $6,000 in deductibles, of course.

Michigan accepted the Medicaid expansion. At $8.00 an hour for 32 hours a week, that is a yearly salary of less than $13,500. This person will get FREE insurance, not pay $300 or even their old $75.

This needs to be stamped on as soon as it's seen. The person is either a liar or misinformed.

1. This person could qualify for medicaid in Michigan. But here's the figures

The information below is about subsidized exchange coverage. Note that depending on your state's eligibility requirements, you may still be eligible for coverage through Medicaid.

Household income in 2014:
120% of poverty level
Unsubsidized annual health insurance premium in 2014:
$2,104
Maximum % of income you have to pay for the non-tobacco premium, if eligible for a subsidy:
2%
Amount you pay for the premium:
$276 per year
(which equals 2% of your household income and covers 13% of the overall premium)
You could receive a government tax credit subsidy of up to:
$1,828
(which covers 87% of the overall premium)
