Obamacare Killed My Group Health Plan!
Examiner.com ^ | 11/18/2013 | Rob Binsrick

First Barack Obama lied multiple times over a three-year span by telling people over and over again that if they liked their health care plan then they could keep their health care plan. That lie has now been widely reported and Obama's credibility has been widely, well, discredited. However, now people are starting to realize that the 'keep your health plan' lie from Obama was just the first of many.

For example, Obama, his press secretary Jay Carney, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Obamacare architect Ezekiel Emanuel and numerous other Obama surrogates have been repeatedly saying for the past few weeks that the first lie only affects the 5% of so people who have bought plans on the individual insurance market. Obama even said during his so-called apology interview with NBC's Chuck Todd that it was a "small percentage of folks who may be disadvantaged."

But it is not just a small percentage of 'folks', as Obama likes to call Americans when he pretends to act like he is just like them, who may lose their current insurance plans. It is a much higher percentage, likely even a majority of current insurance holders. And it is certainly not just those in the individual market. For example, my company recently had all three of the health plans that we offer to our employees cancelled because of Obamacare.

Our premium costs and benefits reportedly hasn’t changed, but I don’t quite understand how this would be happening a year before employer mandates kick in ?

The mandates were delayed for a year, but notices are starting to go out now.

I for one, hope my small company change notifications come soon. I will smugly and silently in my head tell these democrats I work with to choke on it! I’ve actually been looking for ward to this day for months! It’s like Christmas! Come to think of it, I may have to be absent on the day the call the health insurance meeting. I don’t think I will be able to sit through it without chortling out loud!!!!!! Does that make me a bad person! My thinking is these people are do in deep and committed to their votes that it will take something huge and an EXCUSE to get them off the plantation. Nobody likes to admit they were wrong...

Well, we are self-employed, so that's why it is happening to us now.

From the article...

The letters we received from our insurance company read in part, "Providing you affordable quality health care options is our highest priority. That's why we're giving you advanced notice that when your 2014 renewal occurs, your non-grandfathered [plan] will no longer be offered."

Our company kept, basically, the same plan...same deductibles, co-pays, etc. Waiting to see if same docs are staying on the plan :-/

It’s hard to see the providence of God when bad things happen, but I’m sending up a little prayer of thanks that I had my cancer last year, not next year.
