Affordable care act

There are lots of bugs in the ACA. Clinton needs to debug the problems, or risk the ACA going into the dustbin of history.

Minnesota could be the first Obamacare domino to fall

Few governors in the nation greeted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with more enthusiasm than Mark Dayton. The Minnesota Democrat hailed the new program as the apex of progressive governance and made sure the DFL-controlled legislature approved the Mnsure state insurance exchange.

Not even a series of disasters in Mnsure implementation shook Dayton’s confidence in Obamacare, refusing to accept a recommendation in January 2014 from an independent consultant to shut down Mnsure and rely on the HHS federal exchange. Instead, Dayton poured tens of millions more into the state exchange, insisting that the rocky beginning belied Obamacare’s glorious and successful future.

That was then; this is now. On Wednesday, Dayton declared the status of the individual insurance market an “emergency” and that the Affordable Care Act was an oxymoron. “Ultimately, the reality is that the Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable for an increasing number of people,” Dayton told the media. Dayton’s remarks came a week after Bill Clinton admitted that Obamacare was “the craziest thing in the world,” and that consumers “wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half.”..

So we should give our support to the same party who gave us this debacle while promoting it as the greatest thing since sliced bread? Makes perfect sense.

Everything Trump says he will save in the ACA is exactly what's killing it. Calling care for a pre existing condition insurance is right out of the 1984 Truth Book.

More than 1 million in Obamacare to lose plans as insurers quit

A growing number of people in Obamacare are finding out their health insurance plans will disappear from the program next year, forcing them to find new coverage even as options shrink and prices rise.

At least 1.4 million people in 32 states will lose the Obamacare plan they have now, according to state officials contacted by Bloomberg. That’s largely caused by Aetna Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and some state or regional insurers quitting the law’s markets for individual coverage.

Sign-ups for Obamacare coverage begin next month. Fallout from the quitting insurers has emerged as the latest threat to the law, which is also a major focal point in the U.S. presidential election. While it’s not clear what all the consequences of the departing insurers will be, interviews with regulators and insurance customers suggest that plans will be fewer and more expensive, and may not include the same doctors and hospitals.

It may also mean that instead of growing in 2017, Obamacare could shrink. As of March 31, the law covered 11.1 million people; an Oct. 13 S&P Global Ratings report predicted that enrollment next year will range from an 8 percent decline to a 4 percent gain.

Vanishing Plan

Thanks Obama.

Dare we discuss an actual problem? it seems the lie that you could keep the plan you had has been followed by the lie that you can keep the new plan which was rammed down your throat. The lie that the Affordable Care Act is afforable has been exposed and all that's left in the fine, errrr tax, which will be levied for not having the unavailable, unaffordable plan you were promised. Not to worry, the same gang that put this little scam together has a plan to make things all better. With their track record who can doubt them?
