According to Karl Denninger, rumor has it that many health policies are being cancelled in the State of Minnesota - somewhere around 20% of the population, or 170,000 persons, would be affected.
Supposedly it is being mentioned on local radio chat stations.
Twenty percent anywhere is a sizable number to have their medical insurance dropped.
I just lost my policy. I live in new york and cheapest plan is 3000 more a year
Minnesota population is over five million. 170,000 would be about 3 percent.
“””Minnesota population is over five million. 170,000 would be about 3 percent.”””
Millions of those people are on the government dole so they wouldn’t have insurance anyway.
3%? 5%? That’s just a sliver of the population who had sub-standard insurance. Like living under the subway tracks, transformative change annoys for a while, and then you get used to it.
Well, switch to medicaid, Silly! Sure, your current doctor may not take it, or it may take two months to schedule an appointment, but it’s FREE! Then you get free school meals, too!
And then, by being on record as a hand-out taker, you will be first hired by Retail who has signed deals giving felons and Fed Assistance people first shot at being hired, for Tax Credit Loopholes.
Additionally, the food stamp people will be calling you to give you 100-800/month. Then the retail guys will be getting whiff of your 5000 Earned Income Credit payout, since you will be needing good new shoes and electronics and cars.
Get those chains ON! Whattaya waiting for! The New American Dream is HERE!
The arithmetic is Karl Denninger’s. The number of policies was stated as 170,000. The number of people affected was approximately 20% of the population.
Sounds like he is assuming some of the policies are families.
Lol....THE perfect description of the utopian *deram* (dream) of Hope and Chains, FRiend!

150K Minnesotans to Lose Current Insurance Policy Under ‘Obamacare’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3YWAHwTO6g
Medica – 50,000
Health Partners: 19,000
Blue Cross Blue Shield: 62,000
Minnesota has guaranteed renewal laws - can’t be terminated – must be changed
That 170,000 was a number from just One Insurer — more to still issue cancellations to come to about 20% (according to Denninger website)
Another Democrat nest of vipers that deserves no sympathy. Al Franken will run on the benefits of ObamaCare in his re-election bid, and hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans will vote for him.
My Kaiser bill went up by 80 bucks..gave them a call and the lady told me “If you sign up for MediCAL your bill will be cut in half” oh goodie goodie gumdrops..CA based Govt health care, jumping for joy as I speak/sarc
How many Americans had health insurance prior to obamacare? Thats how many lost their health insurance. I doubt anyone were allowed to keep their insurance.
Sarah - check with UCLA as far as coverage — I’ve heard that they are not participating in Ocare — don’t know about Medi-Cal.
The problem is that liberals understand what is going on here all too well.
They understand that many of these changes have effects that will likely never be reversed. They see them as a one-way ratchet.
If people are dropped by their insurance company, it is even better if there is nothing there to replace it. We know that if insurance companies drop 170,000 people, there isn’t a likely scenario that I see where they reverse that decision and welcome those 170,000 people back.
Liberals goal is, and always has been, “single payer”. They wish to completely destroy healthcare as we know it, and then people will clamor for the government to come in and clean up the mess.
If there are all these people out there without healthcare who previously had it, the pressure is not going to be “fix the insurance companies”, the pressure on legislators will be “Fix the ‘Affordable Care Act” and everything with it, especially that pathetic web system.
Liberals win all around in that scenario. They are already demonizing the tea party and anyone not in the RINO branch of the GOP, ostensibly for not allowing enough money to make the “Affordable Care Act” function. They crippled it on purpose! They WANT to see it fail!
Well, yeah. They say it like it’s a BAD thing.
But that is what they will sell to the low information citizenry out there, some large percentage of them buying it hook, line, and sinker.
Medi-CAL from what I understand is just medicare but for California residents..Ive been a Kaiser member for about oh 12 years now, they all know me so Im happy with them..and when needed I get referrals to UCLA(Obamacare is not accepted at UCLA or Ceder Sinai) funny thing is that Kaiser is a big supporter of Obamacare..seems that us Kaiser members are the ones getting the big premium increases, which of course they want since Kaiser is pretty big in this state
He knew what was coming down the pike in MN.
I had always had health insurance. When I was laid off a job in 1993, I was, for the first time in my life, no longer covered by medical insurance.
I did have catastrophic medical insurance in the early part of the first decade following 2000, but Blue Shield discontinued that when I reached 55 years old.
Its been so long since I had medical insurance this is not a knee-jerk issue for me. I do miss the catastrophic medical insurance though; because you never know when you’ll be in a traffic accident that isn’t your fault.
That’s the one thing that is frightening to me. Not dying, or getting sick enough to die, as that is normal for life’s end. It is being in hospital with bills piling up and knowing I have no way to pay.
That thought passed my mind, too.
