Updated: Teacher Living In $400,000 Home Gets Obamacare Subsidies?

UPDATE: 7:04pm EST — I have confirmed the teacher mentioned in the ad lives in a home valued at around $400,000 USD.  Not too shabby. 

Today the White House and the Twitter #GetCovered campaign have unveiled a new poster touting “Gregg F” as the newest Obamacare success story.  It claims it lowered his rates to just $32/month.

So of course there are some problems with Gregg’s story.   First off, he’s a teacher and part of the teachers union.  Why aren’t they providing him with healthcare?

Well because he’s a substitute teacher, they’re keeping him to 30 hours a week more than likely so he doesn’t qualify for insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

Second problem is, Gregg got MASSIVE subsidies to fund this healthcare he has.  Oh and by the way, Gregg couldn’t figure out how to signup for this Obamacare thing either ….

SUSPENDED: Michigan State removes prof who went on anti-Republican tirade

Michigan State administrators have suspended Prof. William Penn for the remainder of the semester, after he was caught on video going on an anti-Republican tirade on the very first day of his literature class.

In an email to students Thursday morning, Dean Karen Wurst of the College of Arts & Letters, cited his "inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive" comments. 

"On Aug. 29, during your Literatures, Cultures, Identities course, Professor William Penn made comments he has acknowledged were inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive and may have negatively affected the learning environment," she wrote. "Once MSU was made aware of the situation the Office of the Provost immediately began a review." 

"As a result, Penn's duties have been reassigned, and he will not be teaching this semester," she added. "A new instructor is being assigned to your course."

It was unclear from the letter whether Penn will be suspended with, or without pay but the letter did make it clear that he will not teach again in 2013.
