Just one of 1,000,000 frauds of the Obama and Dem ADM.
1 Million in Obamacare to Lose Plans as Insurers Quit...
MEDICARE UNVEILS FAR-REACHING OVERHAUL OF DOCTORS' PAY...
Oh, the angst in Minnysoda and Whiskeyconsin. Buyer's remorse, I guess. Healthcare insurance rates are skyrocketing in those libtard states. Oh well...stupid is as stupid does.
Of course, the libtards still don't understand why things happen the way they do. One official in Minnysoda, in the state's insurance commission, blames Republicans for the out-of-control costs of obummercare. Not a single Repub voted for the ACA. Not one. Since then Repubs have tried to repeal it, or at least, tweak it, and obummer has vetoed those efforts. At the state level, Repubs have tried to work around it, but have been blocked by the Feds. But...it's the Repubs fault now that things have gone sour.
Tell him to call me. I'll explain it to him. I just got my new set of crayons.

Anyone with an IQ higher than a slug saw this financial train wreck coming. Of course, obummer/killary supporters fail that IQ comparison test.
They knew. The ultimate goal is single pay
He went lied even more than I expected on this one.
You knew this was happening.
Risk of 'mass exodus' of doctors from Medicare...

Americans see soaring health-insurance premium increases for 2017
States and insurance companies are revealing major health insurance premium increases as they roll out rates for 2017, and a leading health-care expert says the carriers who are staying in the market have to jack up costs to compensate for the huge money lost by drastically under-pricing the product in the first place.
On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal laid out the extent of premium hikes for individual plans both in terms of states and insurance companies.
“Market leaders that are continuing to sell coverage through HealthCare.gov or a state equivalent have been granted average premium increases of 30% or more in Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Mississippi and Texas, according to information published by state regulators and on a federal site designed to highlight rate increases of 10% or more,” reported the Journal.
“In states including Arizona, Illinois, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, the approved rate increases for the market leader top 50%. In New Mexico, the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan agreed to resume selling plans through the online exchanges after sitting out last year, but has been allowed to increase rates 93% on their 2015 level,” it continued.
“Dominant insurers in Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland and Oregon have been allowed to raise premiums by 20% or more, and rate increases from similarly situated carriers in Colorado, Florida and Idaho are brushing up against that threshold,” the report stated.

American Enterprise Institute resident fellow James Capretta is an Obamacare critic. He says the insurance companies were left with little choice.
“It’s pretty obvious that the participants in this marketplace in 2014 and ’15 and ’16 severely under-priced their products, and so they’ve been trying to catch up. Frankly, 2016 saw fairly large premium increases, but they still haven’t priced their products to the risk profile of the people who are buying them,” Capretta told WND and Radio America.
And what exactly is this risk profile?
“Many of the people who have ended up buying these new products have ended up being fairly high users of service,” he said. “You don’t have enough of the people that are below average costs to balance out the people that are above average costs, so the premiums are going up.”
Americans were not only promised they could keep their plans and their doctors, but President Obama also guaranteed families would see their premiums decrease by an average of $2,500. Capretta said that was nowhere near realistic.

My granddaughter was ill, my daughter was out of state, so she tells us to take her to the walk-in clinic and they will treat her. So, my wife and I take her in, give her name, and then the receptionist person says, sorry, we don't take that coverage anymore, effective January 31. Oh? We call my daughter and she gets on the phone with them. Seems that the taxpayer-funded Natchitoches Parish clinic, designed to cut down on costs by offering an alternative to people going to the Emergency Room at the hospital, no longer takes "insurance" obtained via an Obamacare exchange, which my daughter has on our granddaughter.
So, I say, okay, how much is the visit? Receptionist says, "What?" I say, "How much? I can pay cash." I take out my wallet (one of my renters pays me in cash, I had a bundle on me). She says, "No sir, we can't accept cash." Apparently they have no procedure for accepting cash. So, off to the Emergency Room we go!
Since then my daughter has been searching for an alternative plan for her and her daughter. No luck so far.
Really? This is the great Obamacare?
