You have been lied to, deceived and asked to stay supportive even as your health insurance costs have increased, or are getting ready to increase. It’s not a matter of whether they will increase. It’s when.
You are now going to pay more and you can’t keep your plan. You can’t keep your doctor. And you may not be able to go to the hospital nearest your home. You may have to drive past the one closest to you to get to a hospital in “network,” and those specialty hospitals for illnesses like cancer will be at your own cost.
One of the reasons for these limitations is that insurance companies thought they were going to remain profitable because of all the people who would be signing up for ObamaCare, and happily sharing the cost of covering everybody for everything.
Well, people are not signing up in droves and they are not happy, because of problems with the healthcare.gov website, security issues and premium sticker shock.
Even worse! Some people are being caught in the ObamaCare “gap” between insurance they had and insurance they can’t yet get! So they are vulnerable until they can find a plan more expensive than what they had, or until they can find one on the ObamaCare exchanges, which will also cost more because of mandated features they may not want or need.
