16 million are losing their health insurance caused by Obama care

[TRFjr]

The U.S. individual health insurance market currently totals about 19 million people. Because the Obama administration’s regulations on grandfathering existing plans were so stringent about 85% of those, 16 million, are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal. The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014.

These 16 million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage and must re-enroll in order to avoid a break in coverage and comply with the new health law’s benefit mandates––the vast majority by January 1. Most of these will be seeing some pretty big rate increases

not allowed to post addresses yet but you can go to Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review to see the article written by Bob Laszewski one of the top five experts in the heath care arena

yes you read that right 16 million are losing their insurance caused by Obama care

and if they don't get this train wreck fixed by Jan 1 they wont be able to replace it they will be going without health insurance. so a law that was supposed to give more access to health care can actually be making 16 million lose theirs and not able to replace it

The lies told by Obama continue to mount.

That's what is supposed to happen. The lost care will be replaced by increased coverage. Single men will get newborn baby care and 70 year old women will finally get free contraceptives annd abortions.

Going from a pre-Obamacare healthcare plan to an Obamacare plan?

How about this real life example?

But even he might not have expected just how good of a deal he could get: his new coverage will cost him absolutely nothing in monthly premiums after factoring in federal subsidies

So we get to pay for his entire insurance package. WHAT A FUCKING DEAL!!!!

Obama should have known his healthscare rollout website was in trouble when the contractor FAILED it's first responsibility, finding him a way to blame Bush for the abortion that is Obamacare.

No kidding. My rates doubled and I don't even want to think about my new deductible combines with less coverage. But this one guy got a better deal, so it's a success!

Not the point. The implication in the OP is that people are losing coverage and going to have to pay more or go without under Obamacare.

That, generally, is bullshit.

People are pissed over this whole thing and even the Obama-ites who drank the Kool-Aid are up in arms now that they've seen what it's done to their pocketbooks and insurance plans. Expect the 2014 mid-terms to be nothing but Democrat incumbents who voted to pass Obamacare distancing themselves from the whole thing.

Therer's no substantiation of the 16 million. The number is BS.

 

[HenryBHough]

OK, would eight million satisfy you? Or maybe four?

How many people to you feel must be kicked off their insurance?

Obviously you want some number abandoned......

Your rates did not double for comparable coverage.

Did you read the article? The cost of his insurance is just being paid by the government, he's on welfare now. Wow, when government gives people money, they like that. Who the heck would have thought that would happen...
