The fallout continues from the president's dishonesty. And the rest of America is suffering because of it.
200,000 residents of Colorado who recieved a waiver on Obamacare mandated coverage on their old insurance policies when it was revealed that the president lied about consumers being able to keep their insurance policies if they liked them. People are up in arms about it.
"Obama lied to the American people and now Colorado families are being forced to bear the burden of that lie. Republicans are arguing that people who want to stay on their old plans should be able to.
"It's time for them to get on to a better plan," Insurance Commissioner Marguerite Salazar said.
And this will help the exchange. I think with their grant money running out, it's important to have more people in the exchange to give (it) more income."
Thanks for deconstructing the hyperbole and hysteria.
Republicans are doing everything they can to make affordable health care an impossibility, and somehow their voting base is blaming the President for it.
The Dumbing Down of America rolls on….
Obamacare made mine less affordable by a 93% increase.
Same plan I had before.
Who's we? People who did not have healthcare before, people with pre existing conditions, are not we, so speak for yourself.
Just as many before as after the ACA will not have insurance....because a group lost insurance and a group gained insurance does not mean a net gain...
i swear you Republicans post these articles like we dont click the link and read them.
The Insurance commissioner in the state decided to let the old plans expire, not President Obama
And your quote about people being up in Arms, is actually from republican congressman Mike Coffman
but you know, facts.
It gets annoying seeing the same freak out threads getting posted in here only to realize that it isn't even an issue once you read the article. But then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from our right wingers.
These standards are one of the reasons for the increase in insurance costs over the last few decades, mandates they cover everything under the sun in some states drives up costs. It doesn't matter how good the insurance is if you can't afford it.
You mean state standards?
Some states allowed junk policies and some did not.
So many, too many of the general public assumes all insurance is alike. Many still do.
There were people with $50 a month plans that unbeknownst to them did not cover hospitalization, treatment or meds. Yeah, keep your plan and head in the sand.

ACA is first and foremost, Consumer Protection.
So now that the talking point is that all policies being cancelled were junk, tell me how moving people to quality "cough" policies, were supposed to cut the price of policies while improving coverage?

Not nearly as annoying as the same people who ran around proclaiming we needed to pass ACA to insure every american, and if you dont support it, you want people to do..
Followed by, we need to pass ACA in order to cut the deficit,
Or, claiming people could keep their policies if they wanted, and if you doubt it, you were fear mongering.
now that you guys were wrong from DAY ONE, and we told you that, we dont hear a peep out of you, other than finding other reasons its so wonderful, like more people insured, despite the fact its actually less..
I have yet to figure out if you guys on the left are this stupid, or if you know you're being played for a fool, but need to carry on in order to not damage "your side"
