Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the state. Kaiser Permanente in California has sent notices to 160,000 people – about half of its individual business in the state. Insurer Highmark in Pittsburgh is dropping about 20 percent of its individual market customers, while Independence Blue Cross, the major insurer in Philadelphia, is dropping about 45 percent

......
Blue Shield of California sent roughly 119,000 cancellation notices out in mid-September, about 60 percent of its individual business. About two-thirds of those policyholders will see rate increases in their new policies, said spokesman Steve Shivinsky

OK Mr Statistics, so this started in August and this story was reported on 13 October and covers just 3 states where 1.5 million had lost their insurance as of mid October, and been forced into obamacare shopping.. Find a 2 month period of time in recent history where health insurance policy cancellations of this magnitude affecting all private companies have occurred ... because of a GOVERNMENT mandate ....

and please, don't obfuscate the issue with the term "modification" which means typical rate increases of a couple percentage points. Not the 30% increase for obama-approved policies facing "average" consumers whose policies were cancelled just in California

I wish people could understand the difference between criticizing whether the author proved his point well, and claiming that his point is untrue.
