Those losing their coverage are only half the scam. My policy won’t be cancelled...however, the premiums are increasing 50%. So you see, I should be happy, because I got to keep my plan.
People like me will surely be the 2nd wave of disgruntlement, yet to be realized.
Interesting take on this article at Ace of Spades....
“Although the law claims that all policies in effect from March 23, 2010, will be grandfathered, the agency writing the regulations for this law wrote them as narrowly as possible — any change in premium, copay, benefit package, or anything at all would be taken as a whole new policy, and thus be stripped of grandfather status and required, by law, to be terminated.
And the White House, of course, oversees the executive agencies writing regulations — including the one that that almost completely took back the law’s promise that you could keep your current policy.
And they’ve known they were doing this, and they knew they were taking back Obama’s promise via bureaucratic regulation, for three years.”
