54% of Californians may loose insurance coverage and that is just the beginning of the story.

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."
