Second wave of health plan cancellations looms (50-100 million right before fall 2014 elections)
Fox News ^ | November 20, 2014

Posted on 11/20/2013 12:12:41 PM PST by Zakeet

A new and independent analysis of ObamaCare warns of a ticking time bomb, predicting a second wave of 50 million to 100 million insurance policy cancellations next fall -- right before the mid-term elections.

The next round of cancellations and premium hikes is expected to hit employees, particularly of small businesses. While the administration has tried to downplay the cancellation notices hitting policyholders on the individual market by noting they represent a relatively small fraction of the population, the swath of people who will be affected by the shake-up in employer-sponsored coverage will be much broader.

An analysis by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, shows the administration anticipates half to two-thirds of small businesses would have policies canceled or be compelled to send workers onto the ObamaCare exchanges. They predict up to 100 million small and large business policies could be cancelled next year.

This “wave” would be happening right now if not for Obama’s illegal decree delaying implementation for large corporations.

Where is Congress? Why are they allowing this usurpation of Congressional authority? Where is the Speaker of the House? Why isn’t he demanding Obama obey the law?

Think anybody will have the balls to ask Carney point blank about this? Even better, how about this question the next time obama has a press conference, assuming he ever has one again?

I just met with my insurance agent at lunch, my plan and all my “Consultants” are forced into Obummercare, I have no choice as no plan is exempt after 1-1-14. I have a 4000.00 deduct now and pay $1200.00 a month, New program is 6,000 and is $2200.00 a month. I am blessed and can handle this but SH T is about to hit the fan. My agent said every program he works with from 2 to 50 employees are seeing these increases. The amount of money being drained from the economy is going to tank it.

People will not put up with this and they will take it out on Dems. This is going to be repealed I guarantee it.

"Don’t postpone anything. Let it hit people and hit em where it hurts. They voted for this."

Absolutely! This is what the stupid Democrat voter supported by voting for Obama and his Democrats. I wish I could see their faces when the cancellation letters arrive and they discover that any new policies will cost three times as much with huge deductibles and with much less coverage.

Unfortunately, many of those who didn't vote for the Clown-In-Chief are going to suffer also. So, just let the suffering begin! I will laugh at the miserable Democrat voters when they start whining. They are starting to whine even now!

It was pointed-out at the time that the bipartisanship was in the opposition to the bill.

Let’s not forget that the GOP leadership wanted to give a delay so it wouldn’t hurt the democrats before the election.......
