Three large insurers have decreased participation in the Obamacare marketplace, which will leave one in five consumers with only one insurance plan to chose from.

My advantage plan premium went from $0 to $96. I had to go elsewhere and lost my long time doctor in the process.

They had to announce it now, because Open Enrollment is about to start. Nov 1 - Dec 15.

That was the whole idea, destroy Obamacare so they can bring in what they really want..Single Payer..they are hoping that if they can get enough Democrats elected to Congress/Senate, they can bring back Single Payer which was always the plan

This could be the straw that broke the camels back if played right.

You have to do what oppressed minorities do:

Get out in the streets and protest. March on Washington. Resist. Inundate your Congressman with calls and letters. Start your own underground media outlets. Organize boycotts. But expect a violent, repressive response from an intolerant Neo-Fascist government.

Until the so-called “Silent Majority(now Silent Minority)begins to fight nothing will change. NOTHING. Just voting for another so-called “conservative” politician and hope he does something isn’t going to stop the march to tyranny one iota.

In fact it may be too late to stop America’s death-dive. We will find out in 2 weeks.

Ya. And oddly enough they still vote for the scoundrels that did this to us.

Gruber was right — people are stupid....

I’ve avoided OcrapCare, but yes my premium for my health”care” went up 20% and copays changed too.
Praying Trump gets in and starts working toward competition he spoke of.
