A liberal pro-Obamacare group is bragging that the controversial program is causing thousands of Coloradans to have their health insurance plans cancelled by their providers. It’s a “good thing” they claim.
In a blog post over at Colorado Pols entitled “Breaking up is for the best,” the group Colorado Consumer Health Initiative writes that Democrats breaking the promise that you could “keep your plan if you want to” is just dandy:
Your health insurance plan is being canceled, and that’s a good thing. A lot of Coloradans are getting notices from their insurer saying their insurance plan is being canceled. Before you freak out, it’s important to realize, your specific plan may be getting canceled because it does not provide all the services or protections that are going to be required under health reform, but that really just means you will have access to new plans with better coverage and protections.
Breaking up isn’t quite the right comparison. A more fitting analogy would be that your parents said you could keep your girlfriend, but then went and filed a restraining order against her so she couldn’t see you anymore.
The Colorado Observer broke the story last week that thousands of Coloradans have been receiving letters from their health insurance providers informing them that their plans were being cancelled because they didn’t meet Obamacare requirements.
This, of course, is the exact opposite of what proponents of the law – from Barack Obama to U.S. Senator Mark Udall and former Congresswoman Betsy Markey – promised at the time.
We still haven’t seen a single piece of reporting from the mainstream media in Colorado on how thousands of residents are losing their coverage, despite promises from national leaders that they could keep their coverage.
Now liberals are bragging about their broken promises.
And the media wonder why the majority of Americans don’t trust them.
You people are crazy. Just say NO to this B.S.
For people that are 'newly' frustrated, welcome to the world of the self employed. Been putting up with gouging from greedy health insurance companies long before your complaints started…..BS, isn't it ??? Avg Healthcare CEO salary ? $11 million a year.
To to the PRIVATE exchange http://www.ehealthinsurance.com There you can check prices, features, and make choices. We didn't need government meddling to inefficiently produce the same thing.
My current plan is not providing all the services and protections? How about "Get out of my life and leave me alone. I do not want Marxist medical care." Keep it CCHI! If you go to their FB wall and comment anything other than the company line, they shut you down. Note there is not a single adverse comment on that wall. They simply will not converse. Same with their blog. Only messages supportive of Marxist medical care are allowed. And now they're passing the petition to force all of Colorado into one same nasty system.
Yes….. Good to know because it's on my "to do list" tomorrow morning. Thanks I will ask for that option. I wonder if the $17 will be on top of the already $75 increase? This all just sucks big time!
Do you have Anthem? I had the same exact issue. I called yesterday-before the 10/1 deadline. They cancelled my old policy that would have ended 1/14 and would no longer be a PPO on that date. They reissued a new policy, exact same coverage only $17 more per month and goes until 10/4/14
First I recieved a letter stating that it would go up from $510.00 to $585.00 effective 10/01/2013. Then I recieved a letter stating it will no longer be available effective 01/01/2014. So I get to pay an additional $225 for the rest of the year as l feverishly try to find new coverage which I'm sure will be much more expensive and much less comprehensive. I'll have no choice but to pay it because I will refuse Obamacare with my last dieing breath!
I got my letter and I'm losing mine and I'm absolutely FURIOUS!
