CancelCare: Dismissed as anecdotal exceptions, as many as 80 million people with employer health plans, like a Virginia cancer patient, now find their coverage being canceled because it doesn't comply with ObamaCare.
Debra Fishericks, who has been working for the past 10 years at Atkinson Realty in Virginia Beach, has been frantically scouring Healthcare.gov for a plan that fits her.
But she's finding, like so many others, that premiums and plans like the one she had are out of her price range.
Fishericks is battling kidney cancer, and while one of the benefits of ObamaCare was supposed to be that people with pre-existing conditions could not be denied insurance, those who already had it are losing it.
As with Fishericks, the policies they liked and helped to keep them alive have been decreed "substandard" and must be replaced with compliant and more expensive policies the Obama administration considers "better."
"On June 30, 2014, I will probably not be offering company insurance for my employees. I just can't afford it," Fishericks' boss, company owner Betsy Atkinson, told CBS News, meaning Fishericks and many others like her must now fend for themselves.
"We were happy, we had great insurance. We had continuing care for our employees," Atkinson, owner of a realty company, told affiliate WDBJ.

Prayers offered up for that poor woman.
For those who *did* vote for this POSPOTUS and his fellow DEMs, I have no sympathy to offer.
She would be deemed to costly to keep alive by the death panels anyways.
I join you.
You're more generous than I am.
I told a couple of libs I have known for many years that I hoped they lived to see someone they cared about denied care. Before anyone criticizes me, I am only wishing upon then what they have deliberately done to me.
then = them
It isn’t only that poor woman it is thousands of poor people who had faith in this POS we have for President and who sold them out.
The poor bastards still cannot believe it. If they did they would be marching on Washington demanding an answer.
Some will still vote for Democrat in 2014. Those with any sense at all will elect anything BUT a Democrat.
And yes even if she had insurance the death panel would take her out.
Obamacare MUST be repealed or pretty soon tens of Millions of Americans will face this Bullsh*t.
Nancy Pelosi should be tarred and feathered and run out of Washington on a rail. Obama should be impeached and jailed and Harry Reid should be forced ridden out on the same rail as Pelosi.
Most did it stupidly believing what Obama and the rest promised them. They were fools.
Now Obama and john Kerry have sold us oput to the Iranians.
They have signed the Small Arms Treaty,
Christ on his cross asked my God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me.
Well think, Christianity is under attack, abortions are happening every day. Pervert homosexuals are everywhere and getting married. America elected a Godless buffoon.
That is why we are forsaken. We allowed our country to become the new Sodom.
Christ was teaching us when He uttered those words, “my God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me.” They are from Scripture written long before He died on the cross for our sins, (He was teaching us that His sacrifice had been fortold)- Isaiah, I think.
Have you seen Isaiah 9:10? Stunning. Scary.
The Democrat Party denied having God as any part of their platform 3 times in 2012 at their convention. Pretty incredible...the dems denied God 3 times.
No sympathy for those that voted for this homopotus (and Valerie Jarrett)—I’m awaiting a frenzied call from a relative bemoaning the fact that her insurance is unaffordable now. Can’t wait for her ox to be gored, because her stupidity has affected my life. (not very Christian of me, I know.)

Same as Peter denied Jesus. Did the cock crow twice?
I think Bill (the rapist) Clinton only spoke once...
I highly suspect she was an Obama voter expecting to free up some cash
by means of free healthcare. Hundreds of Thousands of Zerocare supporters
expected the same thing, but now are realizing they're the ones paying for free stuff.
SUCKERS! Do you feel stupid Now?
