Remember President Obama promising "You can keep your Health Insurance"? Well for over 1 million people that is no longer true, they have lost their health insurance directly because of Obamacare.
Over half a million in California were told their insurance was going away due to the Not-Affordable Health Care Act. Hundreds of thousand lost theirs in Florida as well. This is repeating over and over in the states. And the Media, wishing to promote Obamacare, is being forced to cover the losses.
Why aren't insurance companies continuing the coverage? It is simple, the Obamacare regulations have made it impossible to provide the low cost insurance most young folks prefer.
And it is the Young that are going to be pissed off!
This is how they do things. There are built in failures in all their laws. This was intended. Then, in a few years, they will be able to say they have to fix the crisis that they created, and mess things up even more.
This was fully intended to facilitate government imposition of full-on single payer socialized medicine. Ubamacare's collapse was built in as a feature not a bug.
Which can mean HIGHER PREMUIMs.
The problem with the pre-existing folks now buying Obamacare is that they vastly outnumber the young buying Obamacare. The result is a financial disaster on the way!
Liberals trying to defend their leader will find themselves sputtering and outmanned.
Call a TV Station and do an interview.
Unless American's speak out, this kind of Socialism will win.
If you a pre-existing condition, good luck getting health insurance, period.
Insurance companies are mean.
I hope you’re advising the media about this fact.
Astonishing.
They aren't in business to lose money. It's going to get real interesting when people have their Obamacare insurance (subsidized or not) and are told things they think they need aren't covered. What's going to happen when a person can't afford their deductible?.....I could see a whole new category of loan defaults emerge. That would be loans to cover deductibles, that people can't pay back. What happens when a person stops paying their insurance bill? Are they off the hook when they're cancelled, do they have to pay the fine, or will it be deducted from their paychecks? What's going to happen with people who move often, since every state has different policies?
The way I see it is that nedical care isn't going to be about healing us anymore. It's all going to be about public health things, to keep the population as a whole as healthy as possible. Could it lead to forced vaccinations? To reporting for a checkup and possible quarantine if there's an epidemic? To mandatory tests to show that a smoking or drinking addict really has given up their habit. etc, etc
The way I see it is medical care is over. Get books about nutrition, healthy exercise and life style, home remedies, natural healing, and first aid. No, I don't think I'm exaggerating or being a conspiracy lunatic....just connecting the dots.
With these impossible deductibles, those who can afford it will sign up for concierge care, which runs about $100/mo., I believe. It would be much cheaper than paying a $6k deductible.
I’ve seen estimates as high as 16 million victims of Obomba’s “signature legislative achievement”.
Ha, but they are better than the Socialized care Obama and the Progressives are planning for America.
Their plans are to wipe out insurance companies altogether and give us Government Healthcare like in Great Britain. It will be the worst of service with Death Panels and little if any research and be run by non-medical people (IE Politicians looking for votes). You wouldn't like it. With months to see a doctor instead of days.
It’s more than a million.
I read earlier today that HALF of the !$ MILLION private policies are not ACA compliant.
Of course some may be grandfathered in for a period of time, but it’s far more than 1 million.
That’s gonna translate to a lot of pissed off voters.
That should be 14 million.
I know. I was just doing my “mean people suck” schtick.
After the 1970s the The socialist used their useful idiot freinds, in state governments to, to get them to vote for and mandate that employers be mandated to add various coverages to their health insurance plans.
Then the mandated coverages would become part of the next round of the useful idiots yelling and screaming about the health insurance statistics showing how much private insurance premiums have gone up (with a big government push
behind the causes of the increases). It was a political cycle often driven by government intereference in the insurance markets, not by free and independent insurance markets. Of course we know the goal was to HARM private insurance and to offer a “government insurance plan” to fix what in fact government had helped cause.
Well they didn’t get the single payer plan they really wanted.
So, the mandates remains as one of the modus operandi of blaming the insurance companies and private insurance as the problem - not the mandates, and the hook is the high rate - $90 some thousand as year for a family of four, that makes someone eligible for one of the Obamacare subsidized plans.
None of this - continued trying to destroy and defame private insurance is accidental; its been done on purpose. The Marxists wrote the law behind the scenes and their useful idiot stooges were told to just vote for it without reading it.
no one cares anymore...damage is done to all this year or next...once all these companies make this decision you cant put it all back together...hey at&t loves it....they have have a pot of money that was set aside to take care of former employees...far as i know with the last accounting it sti]l had hundreds and hunderds of millions left in it...
but they (big corporations) have been for this for years and are glad we are all getting stabbed in the back...i blame the douch bag in the WH and the big corporate AH’s who are both taking advantage of this crap to pee on all of us now standing line in some death panel line...
look at Germandy in the run up to WWII...all of the corporations got in line with the facists then as they are doing the same thing now
“no one cares anymore.”

I agree. I worked pre-divestiture and post-divestiture for one of the regional telephone companies. It was like a switch was flicked in 1984-——the employees, and even the customers no longer mattered.
My son now has 25 years service in management for one of the regionals. Every day he is waiting for the axe to fall.

I’m in the same boat as you-retired AT&T management 30 years, $100 a month for supplemental insurance. I received the notice you are referring to this week and it referenced some changes coming down, but it also referred to comparable costs and benefits as now exist. I didn’t see anything that referred to $950-1250 in increased costs per month. Have you read your publication carefully? Freep mail me if you want to discuss.
