More health care cancellations coming just before election day
The Hill ^ | 9/30/14 | The Hill

Thousands of Americans will see their health plans cancelled before the November elections in a development that could boost critics of ObamaCare.

The Morning Consult, a Washington-based policy publication, reported that nearly 50,000 people will lose their current health coverage in the coming weeks.

I am surely surprised that the GOP isn't hanging these cancelled policies around the Dems neck.

This was to be the issue that would bury the Dems, take back the Senate.

Not only people losing their heath care coverage, but the rising costs of getting another policy that is more money and has higher deductibles.

Come on GOP time to bring this up big time in TV campaign ads. The GOP needs to say what they will do about Obamacare

They won’t “hang” it around their necks because most Republicans are for it.

No, your wrong, not one Republican ever voted for Obamacare, unless your talking about Chief Justice Roberts.

The GOP is like the kid who doesn’t read his homework assignment. The next day while the teacher is asking questions about the assignment, he is frantically staring a hole in his desk hoping he doesn’t get called on. If he can just make it through he will be fine, until he doesn’t read his homework assignment next time.

They didn’t vote for it then, I know. That was then.

Just got my Medicare part D drug premium notice for next year.

More than double!! Oh, and more than doubled the deductible.

Afraid to get the supplemental premium notice.

Guess greens fees have gone up.

"Thousands of Americans will see their health plans cancelled before the November elections..."

Unlikely - there seems to be a pattern of putting off things damaging to Obama & the Dems until after the election. They'll figure out a way.

According to the latest polling averages by RCP Obamacare is a double digit loser for the dems.

Why isn’t the GOP spending big on tv ads blaming the Dem incumbents who passed it without reading it?

Ever wondered if a US ebola outbreak might be considered an “incentive” to get people to sign up for 0bamacare?
Put nothing past these people. NOTHING.

They haven't happened yet. They should hold off for now and then when it hits this will be an excellent October surprise.

Both of my stories are from today, you guys are talking like Dem lurker trolls.

This is the most clear cut issue ever, not even the Rinos voted for this.

Research could get some new stats on cost increases on Average, and how many hospitals and doctors are refusing to take Obamacare, and the cuts in reimbursements caused by Obama taking funds away from Medicare.

Yes, but the cancellations haven't happened yet.

Why is that a Dem lurker comment?

Here is one article that is recent

http://www.conservativeinfidel.com/u-s-politics/shocking-healthcare-better-obamacare-study-says/

Doctor and Hospital choices are very narrow and few for Obamacare.

And the Dems are the only ones to be blamed, they are the only ones who voted for it, and Harry Reid made sure the law was never changed despite dozens of changes the House sent over to the Senate.

i’ve been wondering if it isn’t an excuse to get more American taxpayer dollars into the hands of certain African leaders?

There's a guy I play volleyball with who is still employed with the USPS. He's a diehard democrat who voted for Obama and has a son who suffers from Aspergers and is employed with Kroger. The son's hours were just cut back to 30 so that Kroger wouldn't be required to provide health insurance for him..and now he has to enroll in the Obamacare.

He was complaining about it last week and I happily reminded him that we Republicans warned him about the consequences of Obamacare but he was too stupid to listen...........LOL!

That’s certainly possible, too. There’s an agenda at work here. As usual, it defies common sense.

What is with the Ebola trolls here.

Ebola is only in West Africa.

This is a serious subject act like you don’t have pimples on your face, are you a 14 year old.

Yes Obamacare is responsible for Americans only being offered jobs 30 hours or less, you need to work 3 jobs since PT jobs pay less and you have to pay for your own benefits.

This is another subject for election day, namely, the reduction of Americans annual earnings since Obama became POTUS. Net earnings per worker is $6k per worker less, much of that can be directly linked to loss of hours, but also to Illegals depressing the average wages of low end workers.
