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

**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.

Just like he thinks that ACA provides health care (It doesn’t) he doesn’t know that the insurance companies have to drop people because the policies they have don’t measure up to ObamaCare requirements. These Libs always look to blame others rather than looking at what they did.

Yeah, I know... I blame it on old age when there were a few (just a very few) honest politicians! I’m sure that it is not the case anymore as shown by politicians today. Times have changed...or at least not disguised as well.

"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."

It was doing just fine for me for the last 26 years. Where have you been, Juan?

I simply detest liberal morons like this. The ACA is simply the single largest redistribution of wealth that the WORLD has ever known, taking from those who produce to give to those who are too damned lazy to help themselves. Libtards are just now making it clear that this was the objective from the start. This has nothing to do with making health care better OR more affordable.

That is now... Think about after they have been in office a few years then get back to me about them... It always seems good at first but politics seems to corrupt them.

Incredible. Basic health care was actually pretty easy to get; pre-existing conditions could be covered other ways, and competition would have lowered prices for individual buyers anyway.

So now the minimum standards are maternity care and abortion for people way beyond pregnancy age (or male), contraceptives for people who aren’t even remotely in the market for them, and death for all?

The mistake the insurance companies made was to trust Obama. He told them they’d rake in millions of clients for whom they would only be expected to provide administrative services for basic health policies.

SURPRIIIIIISE! Not only was this a lie, but now that the insane, delusional law is not working out and makes Baby Bambi look bad, the insurance companies have been told not to cancel the plans after all and that it will all work out in the end.

Like when Obama nationalizes the health care and insurance industries with the stroke of a pen?

Except that they insurance companies weren’t cancelling people in bulk until Obamacare went into effect.

Now why is that?

Because no company can make money by not selling their product to their customers.

Every seller of any product wants more customers not less.

But the Democrats who love to use car insurance as a template for telling the public that everyone should be required to have health insurance completely ignore that insurance companies have widely varying levels of car insurance. Car insurance comes in varying levels of coverage in what is covered and by how much. And for those who have a lot to loose umbrella policies can be bought to protect you in to the millions of dollars.

Yet Obama care has decided that there will only be three levels of health insurance. The only differences will be the levels of deductibles and co pays.

Once again Williams will tow the party line in telling the public that they are too stupid to know what is best for them and that the Democratic overlords will tell them what they need and they should be happy and thankful that they are there watching out for the little people’s best interest.

Hope and Change. No Hope and just a bit of US coins. Damn thieves. Most all of them are of the same cloth. I’ll start with the Senators in my State. McShamnesty and his younger twin McFlake. They could care LESS about their Constituents (hint John, it’s American citizens, not illegals) and the huge unemployment rate which is 13-15%. Why should they care? They have power, they have money, we have nothing. McFlake, damn I knew he’d turn tail and run across the aisle to join McShamnesty as soon as he was elected. And off across the aisle they both are. They apparently don’t care about the Constitution, nor Law and Order either. I am damn tired of getting the middle finger from the politicians, all of them. They beg for votes, and then screw us. Prostitutes they are. (yes, i’m darn mad)

"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.

". . . may have been cancelled. . . ?!?!? Juan cannot even admit that these people's plans were actually cancelled! His statement leaves a doubt! That ". . . may have been. . ." damns all of those who claim their policies have been canceled as "liars" or "mistaken" in Juan's enlightened or more knowledgable opinion. He then goes on to insult the judgement of every single one of them by telling them the policy they selected was sub-standard crap. . . because it did not include features they had determined not to buy as worthless to them, such as coverages not suitable for their age group or sex, but that Juan and his ilk find necessary to a standard and suitable, one-size-fits-all plan..

Liberals, including Juan Williams, pride themselves highly on keeping their minds open. Unfortunately, they've failed to notice that with such an open mind, long ago their brains fell out!

When you're around a group of them, if you listen, you can hear the sound as their brains hit the ground. . . The sound is unmistakeable:

SPLAT!

It's really quite comforting to us conservatives; it explains so much. You do have to be careful not to step in the drying brain puddles around where liberals congregate, say in the Senate, White House, or Climate Change forums.

What IS disturbing is the increasing echo of that sound in the hallowed halls of the Grand Old Party. Sad.

Juan: the feds write the regs; business has to kowtow to the regs or be fined or shut down.The regs forced the insurance companies to change the policies and the result was the insured being kicked off. Betting on “it’s the insurance companies’ fault”is a sure loser.

I hear ya...

we are being robbed, manipulated, and ambushed at every turn by the looter class, the Parliament of Whores, and the collaborator media. The lies are more brazen by the minute.

I agree with you that they could not care less and that they are all members of the same country club...same poison, different potency. Their agenda, their worldview, their version of morality are all diametrically opposed to mine.

You’re correct: They are in it for the power and the money. They are lawless. They are shameless.

I’m sorry that you are saddled with those two creeps for Senators...quislings.

If it’s any consolation, I’m beginning to see signs that there are plenty of people out there beyond FR who are becoming as angry as we are...altho it’s mostly about OcommieCare...but it might be a start...?

The only hope I think America has (politically speaking) is that there are a few “Davids” out there...Cruz, Palin, West, Lee, to name a few...may the Good LORD raise up a David to slay the giant and soon.

G-d help us all.

“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.”

I don’t recognize the government’s right to set minimum standards for health care.
