It seems like most people up here that are saying they were kicked off their policy have been conservatives, so how many Democrats have been kicked off? I'm not starting any conspiracies, I just think its sort of funny that only conservatives seem to be talking about being kicked off their policies (I'm sure some are lying about it but some are probably telling the truth), so Democrats are you just not talking about being kicked off of your policy or have you not been kicked off? I haven't been kicked off nor have I met anyone aside from this one conservative guy I met at the US Capitol Building that have been kicked off, but then again, I haven't asked everyone has their insurance cancelled their policy or even risen the monthly cost.

I'm going to ask my mother tonight about our insurance policy because a few days after the ACA was fully implemented, my mother and I both received letters from our insurance saying that we didn't have to pay anymore co-pays on dental work, so I'm trying to figure out if that has anything to do with the ACA at all. I think our insurance cost have remained the same, but then again my mother works for a hospital which covers our insurance so I have to wonder if they would raise their rates or kick us off at all..

Anyways, Democrats, tell me if you've been kicked off or not.

I have one Democrat friend who just got a notice, yes. Maybe any apparent disparity has to do with the fact that self-employed people and people who work at certain kinds of jobs/companies that are seeing this problem are more likely to be Republicans? It is kind of odd.

I'm sure somebody will suggest that Dems are getting notices but keeping quiet because they are mindslaves to King Obama. I'll just throw that out there myself to start the silliness. Why have an intelligent conversation?

My policy is still the same, but the cost went up by $8.00 for me and $8.00 for the employer. It's actually less of a rate increase than I have seen in previous years.

My plan did get changed about 5 years ago, when the company changed providers.

The general consensus over at the Daily Kos is not keeping quiet, it's more like 'too bad you've been lied to, this coverage is better and if you pay more it's to help others so don't complain about it or you're some sort of evil Republican'.

It's highly unlikely they'll admit it even if it happened.As Obama has illustrated, truth telling isn't exactly the left's strong suit.

I doubt it. These are the kind of people that choose the lowest cost insurance possible and then sue when they are not covered for something not in that plan. They want something for nothing.

Nothing like an ugly sweeping generalization.

As slithytoves said above, Why have an intelligent conversation?

This is CD, after all.

More sweeping generalizations.

Do you people work hard at making up this stuff, or do you just have it emailed to you from some RWNJ website for your handy use in insulting hundreds of thousands of people you've never met and don't know?

I'm a leftie. I work for a very small company that struggles to find affordable insurance for its employees. There is no change to my policy or costs.

They did just add a 401(K) option, though. :-D

Or … I'm just lying. Im "subsidized" (whatever that means) and I "want something for nothing." I'm a "parasite," also.
