WASHINGTON, DC— Millions of Americans have received notifications from their insurance providers that their policies are being cancelled or altered due to the Affordable Care Act over the past four weeks.
Reports on the number of cancellations nationwide vary and are still rolling in. Some project as many as 20 million will lose their current coverage under Obamacare.
Young Americans for Liberty decided to look within its network of activists and supporters to see if they had been impacted. Sure enough, many had.
YAL is currently collecting and posting images of insurance cancellation and alteration notices from within its network that can be viewed here.
“Earlier this year our insurance rates rose,” one YAL supporter explained. “Now it’s going from $383 per month to $529 per month and we lose dental coverage,” they added.
“My policy, which I was happy with, is being discontinued in 2014,” Douglas, a YAL supporter, wrote. “The equivalent policy, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, will cost $562.32 per month. The policy I have now costs $263.44,” he added.
“President Obama mislead millions of Americans in an attempt to shove unwanted Obamacare down our throats,” Farah added. “He took away our ability to choose what is best for us.”

My sentiments, exactly.
Obama: Premiums Will Decrease 3000% So You Should Get A Raise When Healthcare is Passed
It’s never enough for a conservative to shout the obvious. But by God if it hits a liberal’s wallet they’re finally ticked. This abortion of a bill is killing everything in it’s path. But to hear a Democrat sing, it will become acceptable with time. IOW that pain in your rear from being effed really is pleasure! I’m willing to go years without insurance just to make sure enough idiots finally figure out that Democrats can eff up a wet dream! Gawd I’m ticked!
I am curious as to whether this whole “rising costs” scenario is going to take health care spending from one-sixth of the economy to a higher number, such as one-fifth or more. Is that part of the plan?
and when that happens our standard of living drops like a stone even more
IF I remember correctly, the whole premise for this law was 4 million people without insurance and we need to do “something”. But I ask: What kind of political party, what kind of administration, indeed, what kind of man as POTUS would do this to millions and millions of their own citizens??? It’s treasonous to the hilt and hopefully these millions will finally realize they’ve been sold down the socialist river and get pissed off enough to bring on some real change. Government has NO BUSINESS in the healthcare industry to begin with...PERIOD!!!! Let the free market do what it’s supposed to do.

That’s a big part of the problem, the low information voter doesn’t know the difference between health insurance and health care. Just cause you have insurance doesn’t mean you’ll get the care.
And you no more get healthCARE just because you have subsidized health INSURANCE
than you’ll be given a CAR for having car INSURANCE.
I think just the fact that the health insurance costs are rising so much, for so many, that the economy is going to take a huge, NEW, hit, due to those who get or continue to have health insurance will be stripped of discretionary spending, and anyone who can save some money will save, not spend.
Yep.
Everyone is poorer, except those working for the government or not working and living off the pigs teat.
