People running away from a hostage situation “lose” their captivity.
What about all the people who “have health insurance,” but it’s worthless?
I'm still trying to figure out how 17 million (the figure continues to rise) will lose their health "coverage" when only 8 million are signed up for 0bamacare?
The complete story also involves those who currently have care but between high premiums coupled with high deductibles are unable to take advantage of their “coverage.” A coherent health plan must address this problem in order to be perceived as an improvement. In short, to be covered by insurance from which the “covered” person derives little or no benefit is essentially the same as not having any coverage whatsoever.
Hmmmm, wonder how many of the young folks running away from Obamacare would be happy to buy catastrophic coverage if it were available and affordable..?
In a market free of government interference they could buy it.
Accurate headline: 17 million forced to pay for insurance that does them no good and they don’t want.
Bull. 17mm would be on medicare and still freeloading off of me instead of freeloading off of me and getting better health care than I can afford for myself now.
I’m ready for the whole damn mess to just blow the hell up.
According to Leftist rag Mother Jones quoting the CBO, 15 million of those who would lose coverage are people who do not WANT coverage and who signed up only because of the Individual Mandate.
