FYI TAXPAYERS---2/22/16 FR POSTED

Obama looting the Treasury to pay off insurers (staving off O/Care collapse)

UnitedHealthcare and Aetna insurers are losing billions trying to sell ObamaCare plans. In 2014, the WH tried to avert disaster by promising insurers a taxpayer-funded bailout, but public outrage and quick action by Sen Marco Rubio put a stop to it.

Desperate to keep insurers on board, they are now dipping into public money. On Feb. 12, the administration announced a whopping $7.7 billion to insurers, just this year alone....money taken from reinsurance fees....paid whether you buy your own plan or get covered at work, or if employer self-insures..... the fee is buried in your premium or taken out of your paycheck.

Obamacare law states a fixed share shall be deposited into the general fund of the US Treasury and may not be used to offset insurance company losses. But they got away with that heist; now they/re at it again. This rogue administration will go to any length to keep insurers hooked into O/Care.

Last year alone, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas got $549 million reinsurance funds, while Anthem Blue Cross of California got $401 million.

ObamaCare was sold on lies. When passed by a Democrat party line vote, the administration resorted to a long string of lawless executive actions to keep an unworkable scheme going.

Obama has illegally delayed the employer mandate repeatedly. He/s handing out free ObamaCare plans to illegal immigrants. Statutory deadlines are routinely ignored; funds are slyly shifted from one program to another...the law be damned.

Was able to keep my major medical policy as it was grandfathered in. It did not include maternity care, I am 63, nor drug rehab care nor mental care, it went up $300 a month over that last three years, but my deductible remained at $7500, $642 a month for two of us.

Lifewise my insurance company who we have been with for over 20 years is leaving Oregon and we have to get a new policy. I was so hoping that we could keep our insurance like our POTUS promised at least until Medicare at 65, but no we will have to pay $600-700 apiece to get another policy for the 15 months we have left before Medicare, I am soooooo pissed.
