To blame an insurance company for cancelling a policy that has become illegal under the PACA is deceit and treachery of the worst kind.
While it is likely true none of the Senators and Congressman that voted for it actually KNEW what it contained, their very willful negligence in a matter of actual life or death is grounds for indictment, prosecution, judgment as guilty, and execution in a manner of their choosing according to the law. IOW, they deserve the Death Penalty.
““Once insurance companies began disingenuously offering plans that they knew they would be canceling it became clear that more people would be getting cancellation letters,” Weiner said.”
It would be interesting to know if that’s even the truth. My Medicare Advantage plan has been cancelled, but it’s been a relatively stable product for the EIGHT YEARS that I have had it.
BTW, I’ve just obtained much better insurance through AMAC, and the time their people took to enroll my wife and I was as professional as it could have been. Everybody needs to join AMAC. At Sixteen bucks a year, it’s a bargain!
Hopefully, she and her staff have ordered their packing boxes early.
Hey Kay, if you like your job, you can’t keep it because you put your PARTY before your Constituents and your Country. Duh!
We need to reclaim our red states. NC should never have had such a horrible POS as Hagan elected and nor should it have such a weak swill POS like Burr. Both need to be replaced just like Graham in SC. We need to stop accepting weak Republicans and faux conservative Democrats in the South.
Consumer fraud is a serious crime. Contact your state attorney general.

It’s truly horrifying how much this sounds like Maduro in Venezuela criticizing the “greedy” appliance store owners.
While the Democrats truly are in full panic mode, I have no doubt that the Republicans will bail them out. Yesterday’s passage of the Upton bill was step one in the process.
At present, only 40% of Americans support ObamaCare. Which means that in Conservative states like North Carolina and Louisiana, the percentage of ObamaCare supporters must be considerably lower (30%?).
So how is a Democratic Senator running in a state with only 30% ObamaCare support supposed to win 51% of the vote next November?
However, even if a miracle happened and every Democratic Senator voted to repeal ObamaCare and override President Obama’s veto, the Democratic Senators running for re-election next year still couldn’t win because the 30% of loyal ObamaCare supporters in their states would be angry at them and stay home on election day.
Very few incumbent senators are easy to beat. It will take hard work and considerable $ to put conservative Republicans into these seats even with the Obamacare fiasco. You can be sure the Democrats will generally run from Obamacare during the election even though they voted in lockstep to pass it and absolutely refused to negotiate on it as little as a month ago. The Republican candidates, whoever they are, better hit Obamacare hard, but that’s not enough. We only win if we elect true conservatives. It won’t help if we put squishes in these six-year jobs, because they’ll simply sell us out as soon as they win.

“People who have insurance they’re happy with can keep it.
We need to support the private insurance industry
so that people who have insurance they’re happy with
can keep it while also providing a backstop option
for people without access to affordable coverage.”

I think she should have obama come in and bolster her campaign.
Ha, ha. Now, that's funny. Best metaphor of the day!
