Insurance cancelled? Don't blame Obama or the ACA, blame America's insurance companies
Fox News ^ | 11/05/13 | Juan Williams

Posted on 11/06/2013 3:34:06 PM PST by Libloather

**SNIP**

These critics include Republican politicians who did not vote for ObamaCare; these are Republican governors who refuse to set up exchanges to reach their own citizens; these are people oppose expanding Medicaid to help poor people getting better health care; these are people who have never put any proposal on the table as an alternative fix for the nation’s costly health care system that leaves tens of millions with inadequate medical coverage and tens of millions more totally uninsured.

The fact is if you are one of the estimated 2 million Americans whose health insurance plans may have been cancelled this month, you should not be blaming President Obama or the Affordable Care Act.

It is Socialists who decided ‘minimum basic standards’. GET OUT OF OUR LIVES AND STOP MAKING OUR HEALTHCARE DECISIONS! A precursor to Nationalized Healthcare.

Juan is so far Soetoro’s butthole that he’s enjoying the suffocation.

Whan,

I don't remember him EVER saying anything to modify these very bold and clear words:

“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.”

“If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period.”

“No one will take them away. No matter what.”

Everyone needs to be constantly reminded of these words of HIS. No give-me-backs.

Wahn, seriously.

He lied.

Who-wan Williams

"If you are one of the estimated 2 million Americans
whose health insurance plans may have been cancelled,
you should be blaming your insurance company
because they have not been providing you
with coverage that meets the minimum basic standards for health care."

"The CEO of Aetna insurance made $36 million last year.
plus several millions more in stock options."

"The CEO of Cigna cleared a cool $12.5 Million plus stock options."
--------------------------------------------------
Who-wan hates rich folks, they are keeping him down.

No, they use Juan to showcase liberal idiocy. Who could be a better poster child than Juan Williams?

But I do blame the insurance companies for being complicit in Obama’s lies. They should be speaking out and telling the truth about what they’ve been forced to do. Instead they’re cowering because Obama has now made the US govt their biggest customer, and he’s proven again and again that he will abuse his enemies without fear of retribution because racist.

They’re cowering now and throwing us all to the wolves so they can do business with the Bamster. So yeah, they deserve our wrath.

That's right! They want to get rid of ALL of their customers. Then they won't have to pay out ANY claims, the greedy SOBs!

Johnny boy Williams NEEDS MONEY.

He is deep in debt and now his ONLY gig is to stir the pot on FOX.

Johnny boy Williams will do or say ANYTHING that he THINKS is controversial.

Controversial, just like that whore, the Ragin Cajun, puts food on this bung hole’s table. It’s how he gets PAID. I’m pretty certain he DOES NOT BELIEVE A THIRD OF THE TRIPE HE PEDALS! But, its what gets him PAID.

Ignore him, and he will starve.

OTOH, when you KNOW where your bread is buttered,.....

JUAN (AKA Johnny Boy, No one faults you for putting food on your table.)

I suspect Juan Williams’ views are closer to the views of NewsCorp execs (some of whom openly endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004).

The rest of the Fox News programming is there to balance their Williamesque content.

I heard that Juan’s son, is a hard core conservative.

IIRC, it was from Juan directly, on one of his Fox news appearances sometime in the last year or so.

Juan Williams is basically channeling Jay Carney for people that missed the WH press briefing.

I wonder if he gets paid as well ?

"Your insurance company cannot deny you coverage or charge you more if you have a pre-existing health condition"

Not insurance Juan, also if deductibles are not met per insurance contract you signed onto, what is the point (Another mindless claim in your article where the ACA "comes to the rescue"). This article is awful disingenuous propaganda that shifts the true blame in the drop of coverage, the ACA, without that law these people would still have insurance.

The insurance companies were providing as much insurance as customers could afford, and now those people can’t afford what Obama is selling them, but they have to buy it anyhow.

Blame Obama because he lied, and he knew he was lying, and then he lied some more. Blame Obama because you don’t want all the insurance he has mandated. Blame the insurance companies for crawling into bed with Obama, thinking they were going to make big bucks.

Blame the government for taking over a free market service, and then forcing you to be a customer. Blame Juan for being a pitiful Obamaphile.
