I have no sympathy for any of the the 300,000 in Florida, or 160,000 in California who have lost their health insurance because of ObamaCARE. Both states voted for Obama, twice in presidential elections. Now they get to live with the consequences. Anyone who believed the cock and bull story about being able to keep your health care plan if you liked it under ObamaCARE is getting what the deserve. NBC surprisingly reports these gory details:
>Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the state. Kaiser Permanente in California has sent notices to 160,000 people – about half of its individual business in the state. Insurer Highmark in Pittsburgh is dropping about 20 percent of its individual market customers, while Independence Blue Cross, the major insurer in Philadelphia, is dropping about 45 percent.
But the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.
“I don’t feel like I need to change, but I have to,” said Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, who must find a new plan for his teenage daughter, who has a health condition that has required multiple surgeries.
