AP: Get Ready, Suckers… You’re Going to Lose Your Health Insurance
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 29, 2013 | Jim Hoft

After several years of spinning for the Democrats and Barack Obama the liberal media has decided to come clean and tell you what you can expect from Obamacare. And your’re not going to like it. Many Americans are going to lose their plans after all.

Of course, Barack Obama repeatedly promised this would not happen.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

And the media let him get away with these lies until now.

The AP reported:

State insurance regulators say many people who buy their own health insurance could get surprises this fall: cancellation notices because their policies aren’t up to the basic standards of President Barack Obama’s overhaul.

These people, and some small businesses, will have to find replacement plans _ and that has some state officials worried about consumer confusion.....

Note that Barack Obama, his family, Federal employees, and Congress are all EXEMPT from having to use this coverage.

It’s wht happens when you pass something before you know what’s in it. Every dang member of congress, and every dang judge who allowed this pile of crap needs to be removed from office.

Of course the GOP could have defunded this in 2010. They do have the constitutional power. Instead they made excuses why they could not and let it build and build getting worse by the day. Now the cure will result in many companies being destroyed because literally BILLIONS have been spent by insurers having to restructure their models to comply with Obamacare. And that further means many people will get financially wiped out in the aftermath.

That’s a fact many people just can’t seem to admit.

We have excellent coverage now, health, dental, vision . . .IF we lose it . . . I will pay the fine. IF we get sick I will go buy insurance. They can’t refuse you for a pre-existing condition. IF I stay well, I will bank a lot of cash otherwise spent on premiums. Win. Win.

I dropped my $8K per year plan many years ago (I think it was more now anyway)

I paid cash for all medical/dental bills including a broken arm hospitalization for my daughter, and caps for her teeth and several fillings and glasses, and I am still way more than 20K ahead of the game.

Note the timing - the weekday after a holiday weekend, the coverage drops expertly timed to come over a year before the next congressional election in hope that you dumbmasses will forget all about this by November 2014.

Timed so that a) most people won’t see this story and b) most who get stunned by a loss of coverage will have found new coverage by the time of the election and moved on.

That is what I’m figuring. Family of four coverage, bank the savings IF we lose it from employer, save the premiums, less the fine and in five short years we’d be 50K to the good, ten years 100K and so on. Not counting perhaps gains on investment of said savings . . . we’re going on 20% earnings this year so far . . . not to say we’ll end the year @ 20%. The libs get really mad when you tell them you won’t cooperate and play their little utopia game and you’ll pay the fine instead . . . which is what they get with an affirmative action pretender and his gang of Pelosi and Dirty Harry.

No surprise. Fact.

The spousal unit and I have long term health care premiums. Our carrier, who has been in the insurance biz for eons, notified us they are leaving the health care business. With out saying directly so, they did cite enough reasons to say "ObumaCare". Our premium was "sold".

It's still unclear if the new carrier's service will be as good or not.

I have Medicare Part A, and that's it. When I read through what "Part B" and the pharmaceutical program cover, they didn't seem like such a bargain. I'd just be subsidizing people who go to the emergency ward every time they stub their toe and keep getting tested for diseases they wouldn't really want to have.

For my dental, I don't have insurance. Between the deductibles insured people pay, the discount I get for cash payment, and me deciding what level of care to get, I can't see how dental insurance is a bargain.
