Colorado Woman Who Championed Obamacare Loses Insurance Plan <---had a low poster done this, s/h/it, would have been banned
DENVER (CBS4) - President Barack Obama is apologizing to Americans who are losing their current health insurance plans. Millions of people are getting cancellation notices, including about 250,000 Coloradans.
...
Wagner and her husband retired early. She was a nurse for 35 years and championed Obamacare, until she received a letter from her insurance company saying it was canceling her policy.
“I was really shocked … all of my hopes were sort of dashed,†Wagner said. “’Oh my gosh President Obama, this is not what we hoped for, it’s not what we were told.’ “
She was shocked further to learn that for the same coverage she would pay 35 percent more and have a higher deductible.
“Our premium for next year is going up to over $1,000 a month for two of us and we’re two fairly healthy individuals,†Wagner said. ...
“The whole plan was to get everyone enrolled so there’s a larger risk pool and our costs go down,†she said. “Wow, not at all what we’re seeing.â€

Hmmm, not a good thing.

1. Congress really should have considered the insurance companies would continue to be snakes
and put something in the health care bill to address this situation.
Congress was so concerned about the insurance companies surviving and making a profit, they conveniently forgot or overlooked that they've spent decades screwing over people. And so it continues...
Should have been single payer.
The companies followed the law as written.
Naturally, the single payer mantra gets going.
Then...

For reporting facts? Oh, heaven forbid.

On and on they went, trying to justify the mess.
Then, one not long for the DUmp, pops up.
