In civil law, there’s an area called “tortious interference with business relations.” It means that it is an offence, correctable by a monetary judgement and possibly an injunction to change behavior, to interfere with an existing business relationship.
How does this relate to Obamacare? If you’ve been regularly paying your insurance policy, there’s an implicit relationship between you and the insurance company that extends past the yearly renewal. If you’ve been healthy and paying, you don’t expect the insurance company to kick you out and prevent you from renewing if you get sick sometime during the year. This occasionally does occur, and Obama demagogued these instances for all he could.
What is happening with Obamacare is that he has broken ALL existing ongoing relationships between people and their insurance companies—exactly what he was campaigning against. The people whose policies have been vaporized just when they need it have been victimized by the government, who has broken their existing relationships. The person with cancer in this article is just one of many who have the same problem.
If this event did not occur because of government action—an existing business relation was broken arbitrarily—there’d most likely be a cause of action. But, suing the government is virtually impossible.
Part of the plan, or another unforeseen consequence? You decide.
I agree. Obamacare instantly (and illegally) made a vast swath of lawful business contracts null and void.
