President Obama calls them “substandard” insurance plans. But to many of the people who bought individual insurance policies that are now being canceled under the Affordable Care Act, their choice of insurance was a prudent decision that met their needs at a price that will be hard to beat under the ACA.
Jim Stadler is one of the “5 percenters”—the 5% of Americans with health insurance policies they purchased on their own—who got notified recently that their carrier was canceling coverage because it didn’t meet the tougher new minimum requirements of the ACA.
“The thing that gets me,” says Stadler, who voted for Obama in the 2012 presidential election, “is I thought Barack Obama was the only guy I could trust in Washington. He ended up lying to me because he said, if I like my insurance, I could keep it.”

can anyone answer these questions and address to FR lilypad :
” I have a question, it may be dumb but here it goes...I hear people say if you are under the Obamacare insurance you dont get this or that... like some hospitals wont take Obamacare people..how do you not get Obamacare. Does this mean the people who get subsidies or the people who sign up thru the exchanges? If one signs up directly with the insurance companies or thru e health does this mean they are not part of obamacare? If you dont get a subsidy why go through the exchanges? Also question number 2...if one has gone into the heaalthcare.gov site and gave his information but didnt buy is there a way to “kill” your sign up information that you submitted...erase your account. “
Yahoo is dissing BO?
Too bad so many voters were dumb.
SUCKER! You fell for the Socialist punk’s BS, Did you learn anything?
A BCBS representative was at my daughter’s work today explaining their options. My daughter said one girl, who is black, told her she voted for Obama but is sorry she did. I think of lot of Obama voters are starting to feel like that.
I think it’s people who have to get individual insurance and now that is only available via Obamacare, because their company doesn’t offer health insurance or are self employed.

“And it’s not just Concord. Nationally, consumers are learning a number of well-known hospitals won’t accept insurance offered through the marketplaces.”
Let me put it like this. You can buy the insurance Obama is selling or you can buy the policy that Obama is forcing your insurance company to modify to his liking.
See, you have a choice.
It is not going to be a matter of being smart or dumb. It is going to be a matter of basic mathematics. Millions of families can not afford too see their premiums double and triple and then, on top of it, not have any coverage until they met a 6k or 12k deductible. Even if they could, in theory, afford it that will now be hundreds of dollars a month not spent at, already, struggling businesses or put into savings.
I would have looked at her and said “You voted black, admit it.”
“I think of lot of Obama voters are starting to feel like that.”
My parents are in that boat...thank gawd! Between obamacare and holder, dems have really hurt themselves.
To begin with, as I understand it, Obamacare is insurance purchased through the exchanges. Subsidies or not.
is there a way to “kill” your sign up information that you submitted...erase your account.
You already know the answer to that.
Obama got away with so much for so long, he thought he will continue to get away with everything.
And why is this "better coverage"?
Because it covers maternity? Mental health that a person will never need?
Huge lie. In actuality access to hospitals and doctors diminishes.
The MSM has let him get away with a lot so we can’t call him dumb for thinking they would keep covering for him. Thinking the American people would take the beatings forever is pretty dumb though.
Check this out ... goes to “erasing” your account:

Communists lie.
Mooslimes practice taqiyya.
