Health insurers would have to be brain dead not to this.

In other words, the insurers are doing their best to preserve their business while complying with the letter of the law. The fact that the law is so shoddy doesn’t even enter into the author’s brain - much less her unreal world.

I would assume these are the “Bad Apple” insurance companies.

health insurers are showing just how creative they can be at shirking their obligation to provide new consumer protections under the Affordable Care Act.

Shirking their obligation? That sounds like something would have been shot for in the Gulag Archipelago.

Aha...so the jihad begins.It's “BIG HMO” that's to blame.Osama Obama reminds me of a Richard Pryor line.He's talking about an :intimate moment" he's having with a woman other than his wife/girlfriend.His wife/girlfriend happens to catch them in the act and he said "I denied it.I asked her 'who are you gonna believe,me,or your lyin eyes?'"

That's been Osama Obama's strategy since,at least,the moment he filled out his application to Columbia.

“creative skirting” - isn’t that what strippers use?

Perhaps another story might have been titled, “Obama gets creative by giving ACA waivers to cronies who are shirking their responsibilities.” I doubt the author of this article will be writing that one, however.

I wish BC/BS would have given us the option of early renewal instead of canceling our policy effective Decembed 31 due to the onerous provisions of ObamaCare. The Dems and their apologists can spin this all they want. They can try to transfer blame to the insurance industry.

Yes, Americans have become colossally stupid. (Two terms of this idiot prove that.)

But they’re not quite that stupid. Not yet anyway. The Dems own this.

Unfortunately, if Blue Cross Blue Shield in Arkansas sees short-term policies as a way to get around the ACA, it’s likely other companies in other states do, too.

What is so unfortunate about skirting socialized medicine and fascist government policies?

It’s time for the entire medical industry and the American people not only to get creative, but also to ridicule the Alinsky-ites who are running the Federal sham show.

Terrific article, actually, except for the WHINE. I was wondering if insurers wouldn’t find their way around the mandates, and by golly, they have! Kudos to the free market. Kudos to We the People, Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Tar and feathers for the DC crowd.

Voters need to know that the only way to escape the tyranny of Big Government running their family’s health care is to vote every Democrat out of office next year.

One Congress cannot bind another Congress. ObamaCare can be history in January 2015, after the 2014 elections, IF every GOP quisling also is voted out in the primaries and starch conservatives in the mold of Ted Cruz and Mike Lee win elections. Get to work, or don’t complain.

If you buy “The Big Lie” that Obama is the ideal then this article makes sense.
