It's still the insurance companies and employers who are, for the most part, choosing to drop employees.
I'm sorry it's happening too. But, I have yet to cancel a single policy.
As Bob said, "Depends on the lens you're using....".
When a friend tells you his mother died and you reply "Sorry to hear that.".........does that mean you killed her?

Bull Chit dave... Even WAPO sees through this line of chit.
"Blaming the insurance companies can only go so far. First of all, the administration wrote the rules that set the conditions under which plans lose their grandfathered status. But more important, the law has an effective date so far in the past that it virtually guaranteed that the vast majority of people currently in the individual market would end up with a notice saying they needed to buy insurance on the Obamacare exchanges.
The administration’s effort to pin the blame on insurance companies is a classic case of misdirection. Between 75 and 95 percent of the problem stems from the effective date, but the White House chooses to keep the focus elsewhere."

Hmm so suddenly the administration has become Congress or is that the other way round?

Good to see some of these states cracking down on the vultures at Humana and Blue Cross.

imagine both parties being separate towns in a rural state with one highway separated by 100 miles of desert.
One has a liquor store, dirt bite track, and a honky tonk. That is the Republican town.
The other town has a liquor store, dirt bike track, honky tonk and a friggin hospital.
that is the Democratic town.
i know what town has my back.

I really don't care anyways, to be perfectly honest.
If it gets us one step closer to killing the system we have, I'm good with it.
The employer sponsored system can't die fast enough, to my mind.

How Dave, I mean do you really think single payer is even possible seeing how Government has proven that they are incompetent and cant even write a website.

Of course it's possible. It's done everywhere but here. The only reason we didn't do it years ago, is because we have too many pigheaded fools, dogmatically protecting the so-called "right" of insurance companies to rip us off.
The government has how many websites? It'll get fixed.
The employer sponsored system, with it's obscenely high premiums, abusive aspects like pre-existing conditions clauses, exclusivity that punishes people for being sick or unemployed, etc, etc, etc......... is a pig that needs to go.
And the sooner, the better.
Dave

I sent my first email in the Navy in 1989 on a government intranet, most likely a decade before your first e-mail. Wake up
