Brown found that out on Saturday, when he stopped by the home of Herb Richardson, a Republican state representative. Sitting in Richardson's home, Brown called Obamacare a "monstrosity" that members of Congress didn't even bother to read before they passed. At that point, according to the Coos County Democrat , Richardson chimed in to explain that the law had been a "financial lifesaver" for him and his wife. From the piece (page 14 [pdf]): Richardson was injured on the job and was forced to live on his workers' comp payments for an extended period of time, which ultimately cost the couple their house on Williams Street. The couple had to pay $1,100 a month if they wanted to maintain their health insurance coverage under the federal COBRA law. Richardson said he only received some $2,000 a month in workers' comp. payments, however, leaving little for them to live on. Who knew Obamacare helped Republicans, too? Certainly not Scott Brown. The reporter told Huffington Post that Brown didn't respond to this revelation that Obamacare might not actually be a monstrosity, even for a Republican, and the conversation moved on.
