DENVER – There are nearly 250,000 Coloradans whose health care policies have been or will be cancelled as a result of the Affordable Care Act, the state’s Dept. of Insurance announced on Wednesday.
So far, just 3,408 Coloradans have purchased new insurance plans on the exchange; many more, 34,168 Coloradans, have enrolled in Medicaid since the program expanded under the law.
“To have almost a hundred health plan cancellations for every exchange sign up in Colorado under Obamacare is exponentially worse than even the most extreme skeptic could have predicted,” said Kelly Maher, executive director of the group Compass Colorado.

Not to worry, they are getting better ones. LOL!
They were apparently mizeled by President Mizeled too.
Somebody is going to have to pay for all those newcomers to Medicare.
Guess Who.
Wonder what the national total is now? I predicted 10 million by the weekend.
Anybody keeping a running total of these?
I have a cousin in Boulder. She is the breadwinner with husband and kids. Their health insurance was cancelled. She is one pissed off person right now.

I watched RedEye last night too. Pretty funny. Thanks for posting that — I woke up this a.m. and I couldn’t remember what the word was that she fouled up so badly.
Watching the Clipper/Magic game & seems the White Hut hitting all the sports channels. Anyway, a Covered California commercial just came on & no joke, at then end under the logo says “Financial Assistance Avaiable”. Assitance from the taxpayers, us!! Un-freakinbelievable.
Available :)
Hey Colorado, now you have a real reason to get high, to forget about your super high premiums..I wonder how many of those people with canceled plans voted for Mr I Dont Know Anything Obama
Ping for later
I’ve thought all along that more people would lose their insurance than would be those getting it for the first time.
And these were the ones that were trying to be responsible for their lives. No wonder Obama hates them
Saw that same commercial, actually saw it twice today, almost hurled(Yeah it takes a lot for me to hurl) people who will sign up for that program are here illegally anyway..paid for by us the Taxpayer
Wow and the hits keep coming. I think by Nov. 2014, there will be a hell of people across the US pissed off. =)
The states that didn’t expand Medicare are the ones who will come out ahead, if that is possibly in this fiasco. In three years, when the Feds. stop picking up the tab for the expanded Medicare enrollees...those states r going to be hurting. Too many lazy, unwilling to work people on Medicaid, and now more signing up. Trust me, I personally know several. Future lifelong Democrat voters.
I don’t have insurance and I have no intention of selling everyone else’s kids into slavery.
Onward!
It’s MediCAID, not Medicare, which Obamacare was supposed to make the States expand. They are separate programs.
But the Supreme Court said they didn’t have to, so 26 states aren’t doing it.
I often wonder if my young Granddaughters will have to be stitching the brown shirts and jackboots, or wearing them.
