1) California : 58,000 will
lose their plans under Obamacare. The first bomb dropped in California with a mass exodus from the most
populated state’s Obamacare exchange. Aetna ,
the country’s largest insurer, left first in July and was closely followed by
UnitedHealth. Anthem Blue Cross pulled out of California ’s
Obamacare exchange for small businesses as
well.
Fifty-four
percent of Californians expect to lose their coverage, according to an August
poll.
2) Missouri : Patients
of the state’s largest hospital system — which spans 13 hospitals including the
St. Louis Children’s Hospital — will not be covered by the largest insurer on Obamacare
exchanges, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield. Anthem covers 79,000 patients in Missouri who may seek
subsidies on Obamacare exchanges, but won’t be able to see any doctors in the
BJC HealthCare system.
3)
Connecticut: Aetna, the third largest insurer in the nation, won’t offer insurance on the Obamacare exchange in its
own home state,
where it was founded in 1850. The reason? “We believe the modification to the
rates filed by Aetna will not allow us to collect enough premiums to cover the
cost of the plans and meet the service expectations of our customers,” said Aetna spokesman Susan Millerick.
4) Maryland : 13,000 individuals covered by Aetna
and its recently-purchased Coventry Health Care won’t be able to keep their
insurance plans if they want Obamacare subsidies on the exchanges. Aetna and Coventry canceled plans
to offer insurance in the exchange when state officials wouldn’t allow them to
charge premiums high enough to cover costs.
Editor's notes: See the Daily Caller's commentary on the remaining 6 states, understanding that these are not the only states in the nation affected by the rolling disaster we call "ObamaCare." The summary reason for the exodus of nationally ranked insurance companies is found in this statement by Aetna: “We believe the modification to the rates filed by Aetna will not allow us to collect enough premiums to cover the cost of the plans and meet the service expectations of our customers,”
Here is the scary part: If it doesn't work for private business, it will be nothing but a money pit when the Feds take charge. Obama has recorded record taxation increases on the Middle Class since taking office. ObamaCare insures this record pace to continue, and the Socialist/Progressive theory allows for these increases, believing that the money makes the concerns of the poor, those who can't or will not work to qualify themselves for life in a new and technical society. As things stand, today, the poor can "earn" as much as $34,000 per year as participants in the several entitlement programs available to the so-called "poor."
