It's nowhere near that, doc. It's only people who have individual plans who are subject to it, and they're a very small percentage of the market.
Plus which, some of it is indeed "bad actors," insurance companies that try to make these people believe their only option is a much more expensive one than the one that was canceled, when actually the companies have cheaper plans that meet the ACA standards and that are not that much more expensive although they provide a lot better coverage than the plan that was canceled (which will very likely save them money.in the longer run). I can't speak to your particular situation, but if you are genuinely getting stuck with much higher premiums but not much better coverage, you're among a very small group. We'd all be better off with single-payer, but the bottom line is that with ACA, most people will benefit. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: OK - let's say it is just half of that - 45 million, which sounds closer, anyway. It is a rigged game. Any policies that don't carry all the coverages that are now federally mandated, must be cancelled, as mine was, and reissued. It is not 'bad actors', as the prez is saying - It is federal law, which he signed into place. It gets better. Then, when the policy is reissued, surprise, now, more than double. Subsidies are only available on the more expensive plans, anyway. My "choice", subsidized, or not, is basic insurance, with a $5000 annual deductible, for $560/mo. I'd have to spend almost $12,000, per year, before getting a dollar reimbursed. No thanks. Gee, I feel so grateful for 'health reform'. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: "93 million"?? Are you nuts?
