America was warned, but they ignored the warning of patriots. Now
comes the next step in the challenge to fundament individual liberty and
freedom on the road to serfdom for the benefit of the state.

"Cancellations are in the mail to customers in markets where insurers say the policies no longer make business sense. In some states, such as Maryland and Virginia, rules call for the plans’ discontinuation, but in many, federal rules allow the policies to continue through 2017.
Insurers sending the notices to some customers include Waukesha, Wisc.-based Anthem, one of the largest insurers in the country; Baltimore-based CareFirst; Health Care Services Corp. in Chicago; Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif.; Humana in Louisville; and Golden Rule, an Indianapolis subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.
One reason behind the switch is that insurers determined they can make more money selling plans that comply with the Affordable Care Act, often at higher premiums that may be subsidized by the government......"
Health insurance companies long ago determined that they had
to go along to get along with Obamacre and it looks like their lobbying
has paid off so to speak. The health insurance industry can't lose
since they are being "backstopped" by taxpayer subsidies for any losses
they incur selling any of the Obamacare plans. These same health
insurance companies no longer are constrained by the economic forces of a
competitive free market.
Once again
Democrats, manipulated by the radical liberals in their Party, have
managed to screw taxpayers who will not only have to pay higher premiums
under Obamacare, but will have to subsidize the very health insurance
carriers that are reaping the rewards of Obamacare on the taxpayers's
dime.
Someone please explain to me how this
evil cabal between government and the health insurance industry is
anything but a criminal enterprise engaged in extortion of Americans,
and done under the color of law?
"Free
enterprise" and the supposed "free market" are long gone when government
can force people to buy something they don't want or particularly need
for their circumstances. This is pure socialism in action. Obamacare
epitomizes the age of "Big Brother" and the socialist state and there is
little chance that it will ever be repealed. Of course politicians
will make changes around the margins and tell us that all will be well.
That's about all they're good for these days.
Statesmanship is just a
distant memory.
