80,000 Louisianians' health insurance policies will be canceled under Affordable Care Act
New Orleans Times Picayune ^ | 11/4/2013 | Rebecca Catalanello

About 80,000 Louisiana residents will see their health insurance policies canceled in 2014 because they don’t meet new federal health-care standards, the state’s insurance commissioner said Monday.

Jim Donelon said the Department of Insurance collected the information from health insurance providers last week in response to numerous requests for an estimate.

The figure could account for close to half of the 165,000 people in Louisiana who hold individual health insurance plans that they pay for without the help of an employer or the government.

“These people were obviously satisfied with their insurance,” Donelon said, “and I hope that they don’t drop out of the market.”

The issue drew national attention last week after NBC News credited four unnamed sources with saying that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually would receive policy cancellation notices.

It doesn't matter.

Chris Matthews said they were only paying $5/mo. anyway.

Marylanders deserve whatever bad things they get. They elected a closet Marxist as governor, crooks as the mayors of Baltimore, and some of the stupidest leftists around to congress and the state legislature.

Screw’em.

From an ex-Marylander

Same for the low educated, high-tide Democrats of Louisiana. You elected Mary Landreiu (aka “Screwloose”). Suffer for it.

You elected Ray Nagin, the racist former mayor of New Orleans (aka Chocolate City, now known as Shitty City).

You deserve what you get.

Until sanity returns to these people, screw em. Let them die from ObamaDoesntCare. You trusted a red posing as a Democrat, so you shall reap what you sowed.

It's just a very small percentage, and they were too dumb to realize their cheap-o health care insurance didn't come up to the high standards of ObamaCare.

Like any other State there are those of us in Maryland who worked to get rid of the filth that plagues Maryland. We are Outnumbered by Obama voters and Yellow dog democrats.;

I got out in 1966 and we closed our family business in 1987. The city is a leftist, criminal, welfare shithole (while white liberals live pretty well in its outer areas and in Baltimore County).

Bet you would’nt want to live ooff of Route 40 on West side, the North Avenue corridor, Eutaw, southern part of Mulberry, near Un of Md Hospital, southern Baltimore, etc.

Neither would I even if I were armed.

I live in Southern Md. The only reason I ever went to Baltimore was to get a Pollock Johnny’s.
