If a man disabled with a hangnail is promised disability and then the caseworker reneges, does he have a case?
A promise from a politician is meaningless. I manage a CMS financed contract, $100Million to a big IT company. My boss can cancel that contract with any or no excuse given.
I don’t know the details of your contract - clearly you think it gives them an escape clause. Most agreements have a term and a termination component. I am aware of the unreliability of politicians but this is our government. The insurance companies have a case imo. They were induced to offer insurance policies they didn’t want to offer on the promise of reimbursement for a period of X (3?) years. They did their end of the deal, they should be reimbursed.
This doesn’t mean I like the deal or the ACA, only a question of being honorable to the word of the deal.
