What a fiasco. The Oregon health plan website has been up for over 3 weeks and yet not a single person has been able to purchase a health plan on it. Now that's change you can believe in! http://www.oregonlive.com/health/in...on_some_significant.html#incart_more_business
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_1...insurers-to-drop-customers-with-low-coverage/ Arrival of Obamacare forcing insurers to drop customers with low coverage The Affordable Care Act was signed by President Obama in 2010 and since then he has repeated one reassuring phrase: "If you like your insurance plan you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you. It hasn't happened yet. It won't happen in the future." But it is happening. The president's health care law raises the standards for insurance policies, which many consider to be a good thing. But hundreds of thousands of Americans whose policies don't meet the new standards are being told that their health plans are being cancelled.
What's happening is that we can keep our current plan for a grace period after which we will need to modify our plans. Employers is likely going to fuck me over and get me a high deductible plan now. Fucking blows. I was happy the way it was working for me, now its going to be fucked. A few letters are coming in, they may even make me try to contribute for this now, fuck that.
It's this type of strawman that keeps us from providing reasonable solutions that actually address the problem.
