ObamaCare Just Killed my Health Insurance Again

SNIP

In the fall of 2013, our family received notice from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado that we could no longer keep our private health-insurance plan because of “changes from health care reform (also called the Affordable Care Act or ACA).”

We liked our high-deductible preferred-provider-organization plan that allowed us to choose from a wide range of doctors. But ObamaCare wouldn’t let us keep it. Reluctantly, and after great bureaucratic difficulty, my hubby and I enrolled in an individual market plan with Rocky Mountain Health, which offered a much narrower provider network than the Anthem PPO plan we had before the feds snuffed it out.

Thanks to “reform,” our two kids’ dental care was no longer covered, and we had our post-ObamaCare insurance turned down at an urgent care clinic — something that had never happened before.

No, Trump is going to replace it with all the heath insurance companies in competition with each other fighting for customers across the United States that were previously land locked by state boundaries. Trump has made this crystal clear.

I have the cancelled check for my birth 50 years prior to your story. I cost the grand sum of $100.00.

Just wow. Next year will be the big bad year for ocare.. Iirc, many kick the can legislative pieces expire in 2016. I think it’s better called the health careless act. Not a fan of fox, but they should run a tally at the bottom of their screen and keep a wall of health care denials.. Verified of course. A visual. Or someone should start a reality show about loosing your employer healthcare...mor the thirty hour workweek life.

No, no, no - don’t let me say it....

I’d be happy to be Michelle’s doctor for nothing.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Does tickling count as ‘harm’?

I actually had the opposite experience. I had a Rocky Mountain Health plan that I hated. In 2013 I was notified by them that it was being cancelled because of Obamacare; and I was subsequently never solicited by them to renew it with one of their Obamacare plans. I switched to Anthem and ended up saving several hundred dollars per month and got roughly the same coverage.

Then toward the end of 2014 I got a letter from Anthem certifying that my plan was being automatically renewed (assuming I took no action to the contrary). A couple of weeks later, my policy was (instead) automatically cancelled because of a software bug at the Colorado exchange. I heard on the news that this bug did the same thing to several thousand other people. Instead of fixing the bug, they made everybody go through the process of re-enrolling.

Look at the bright side, at least you got to keep the high deductible!
