Plans that no longer cover federal requirements will phase out in 2014

More than 800,000 New Jersey residents will be forced to find different health insurance as plans that no longer cover the Affordable Care Act’s requirements are phased out, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reported on Sunday.

Those in the individual and small-employer markets will only have three insurance providers available through the health insurance exchange. Of the 800,000 needing new plans, at least 50,000 senior citizens will need to find new plans. The Star-Ledger reports:

Horizon sent notices to 50,000 of its New Jersey members explaining to seniors that their current plans will not be available next year.

Brian McGuire, associate state director for AARP New Jersey, said these changes may be frustrating to seniors forced to change plans, but it is an overall benefit for Medicare recipients. That’s because the Affordable Care Act provides financial incentives to insurance plans that are ranked highest for quality of care and customer service.

“Any time a senior has a plan they like and have to change, that’s not a positive, but we have a much better assurance that there are higher-quality plans being offered,” he said.

The loss of health insurance is greatly increasing daily.

It’s only a matter of time before the riots start.

If you like your insurance..... fooled ya!

[BCW]

so...800,000 people “didn’t” like their health insurance?

Hopefully the cancellations include the insurance of my block-headed, Obama-voting aunt and uncle who live in Morristown.

I love hearing ObamaCare sob stories from blue states. Burn, baby, burn!

[Farnsworth]

Good! You wanted the SOB, now deal with the crap that falls out of his butt

Tucked away inside the bill is also a database of all prescriptions filled. If you want to keep your guns, don't let anyone in your household fill a prescription for Ritalin, Prozac, Zoloft, Adderal, Zanax, or anything which could indicate psychological symptoms receiving treatment.

Some states already had it in place as well as the FAA for pilots and their family members.

ØbamaCare is nothing more than a bait and switch scam to facilitate wealth redistribution.
It's time to impeach the POS in the WH and declare ØbamaCare null and void.

AARP should shut their collective mouths. They sandbagged the seniors on 0care and everyone knows it. They’ve shown themselves to be nothing but shameless crony capitalists.

[ScottinVA]

Ditto. Those who supported all this crap need to feel the intense, sharp pain of it. That’s the ONLY way it’ll wake these lo-fos up.

[hal ogen]

To those of the 800, 000 who voted LIB/DIM...eat it. Bwaaaaaaaaahahahaha.

[Farnsworth]

Reality can be a cold slap in the face.......for those who can still think

[Red Badger]

I take Folderol.....................

“Any time a senior has a plan they like and have to change, that’s not a positive, but we have a much better assurance that there are higher-quality plans being offered,” he said." Absolute and utter bullshlt. What you are paying for is abortions,colonoscopies, and wellness visits. Yes your plan had to change, however mad it makes you, but it did not have to be canceled. I am saying its time to get ugly with these fascists.
