Insurers Oppose Obamacare Extension as Danger to Profits
Allowing Americans more time to enroll for health coverage under Obamacare may raise premiums and cut into profits, insurers are telling members of Congress in a bid to stop such a move.

So I'm sure they sure they were ecstatic with Mr. Cruz' plan to delay implementation of ACA a whole year. |

The bloodsuckers shouldn't have been so eager to cancel our policies.

Wouldn't it be easier just to have the IRS deduct their profits directly out of our paychecks? Way to go, Barry O!
Aetna, I'm glad I met ya. |

It's pretty funny really. I realize how bad this is for some people but my god you have to laugh...... The insurance companies cancel all these policies and then people are unable to get on the website to get forced back on them at higher costs.
As I noted, an absolutely brilliant way to bring down health care costs, no?

Mr. Cruz clearly didn't not take anything into consideration other than his own political career. Delaying ACA's implementation would have had created wide spread problems for far more than insurance companies.
If we were to focus on insurers for a moment, A year delay would have no just effected their profits, but the premium costs as well. |

LOL, like the implementation hasn't caused widespread problems? What do you think this topic is about?

Yes, because insurers are what affordable health care is all about. |

These are the types of issues that they should be collectively working on to resolve rather than just delaying the ACA. The website issues will be solved, the problems with people being rejected from their current plans with more costly alternatives is more complicated. |
