I still say put it off for a year. It would be totally possible to extend those policies that had been cancelled. I hate to sound cruel, but if some people die because they've lost their insurance, it'll be less than would die because of Obamacare.

Real answer...private clinics on a pay-as-you-can basis, with a minimum for a visit. The catch? Maybe if you've got a dread disease, the only care you'll get is a book about nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and exercise.

The fact is it's impossible to care for everyone with the most expensive treatments. If it is necessary to meet a need, cheaper alternatives will be discovered and used.

I have Blue Cross of Arkansas. I’ve gotten mail from them saying they are cancelling my policy as January 1, 2014 to comply with the ACA. However, I can keep the policy I have in place through 2014.

Not exactly confusing, but a wild(not in a good way) situation. Our state(governor) has been really big on the ACA as opposed to our neighbors Louisiana and Texas.

Real easy to sit at your Keyboard Kommando Station and say that.

Just a bit more difficult in the real world of state insurance commissioners and federal law.
