About 92K Coloradans to lose Obamacare coverage as insurers drop out, cut back, raise rates
The Washington Times ^ | June 6, 2016 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 06/06/2016 2:44:03 PM PDT by george76

More than 92,000 Coloradans will lose their Obamacare health care coverage in 2017 as four leading insurance companies scale back or eliminate their plans while others propose rate hikes of as much as 40 percent.

Insurance holders with individual plans through Anthem, UnitedHealthCare, Humana and Rocky Mountain Health Plans will need to find new coverage for the 2017 coverage year, according to a Monday statement from the Colorado Division of Insurance.

...

the news came as a devastating blow to the state’s already-shaky insurance market. Colorado is one of 14 states that opted to launch its own Obamacare exchange instead of depending on the federal version after the passage of the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Cory Gardner, Colorado Republican, said in a Monday statement that “it’s time for the resident to admit Obamacare is a disaster for the American people.”

When the resident rammed his partisan health care law through Congress, he repeatedly promised the American people ‘if you like your plan, you can keep it,’” Mr. Gardner said. “resident Obama and those that supported this partisan law are now silent as 92,000 Coloradans must find a new insurance plan.”

Did Gardner really call him "resident"?

But our top story is, it's racist, reprehensible, and inexcusable to call someone out on their transgressions if they're Latino. Oh, and Hillary's been elected already, and was cleared of all wrongdoing.

Not madness; part of the plan. Implement something that is destined to fail, then step in with a single-payer system.

Yep. Get the entitlement attitude ensconced in the parasite society, and then accuse anyone who opposes the "only solution" - single payer - of wanting to kill people.

Jon Keyser would be a good choice ; not saying the others are bad.

Met him and his wife. Seems like good people. Which is why the Enemedia hates him the most ( like Scott McInnis ).

For a long time, I bought into the idea that single-payer would be the fall-back position because this Affordable Heath “gimmick” was doomed from creation. After looking at single-payer, I’ve come to realize that even it will not be able to survive that long.

Because of the structured fifty-state ‘play-ground’ with health care....going into single-payer means that it’d be fifty different states, with each operating with some federally delivered operating plan. The amount of corruption within each state? It would be at an enormous scale and likely increased the budget by 50-percent. Add to this that a number of price controls would be in effect and doctors/hospitals would eventually curtail offering full service, and lead people to pay extra for better service. In the end, we would all be grumbling about a two-star medical system that has no future. Sadly, there is no fall-back position for single-payer.
