OK folks, this is NOT
a forward from somebody else, this is directly from my desk
and completely generated by the synapses of the few brain cells
that I managed to keep intact despite meager attempts to follow this
Obamacare debacle.
In spite of the fact that
Prez Obummer is now compounding his now famous ".....you can keep
it, PERIOD!" lie with his latest "........you can
keep it if it didn't change after the Affordable Care Act became law"
lie. Then thrown in Debbie Wasserman-Shultz ",,,,because neither
the president nor the democrat party ever lied about the Affordable Care
Act....." lie! So now they're lying about their lies, with more
lying, I think. I'm confused now. Too many lies.
Well we all know that most
insurance companies DID change the single policies to meet the
specifications mandated in the ACA. Whether the features of each individual
policy is now better or worse, more or less expensive, higher or lower co-pays,
or if any other significant actuarial differences of note exist remains yet to
be seen. Factually, most if not all of the former single policies (which
include partners and families) NO LONGER EXIST THE WAY THEY WERE!
Those outdated, less expensive, non-inclusive policy terms fell by the
boards under new regulations in the ACA.
Here's the problem: members
of the congress (e.g.., Mary Landrieu, D-LA) is introducing legislation in the
US house of representatives to force insurance companies to "grandfather"
policyholders who held policies that they "LIKED"
prior to the ACA, they can "KEEP" them. OK sounds
great doesn't it? Well, how can you keep what doesn't exist? Those policies
have already been cancelled and most replaced with newer updated replacement
policies, or worse yet, the policyholders have moved over to "MEDICAID"!
Congress, with this act, will create a logistical nightmare that
will take years from which to recover! It's so typical - let the federal
government get involved and they'll create chaos out of orderliness in one
felled swoop!
So that's it in a nutshell
folks, and in my humble opinion, it's only going to get worse! Sad thing is
that it really could have worked if it had been done right from day one, and
with bipartisan cooperation! But that will never happen again in my lifetime!
God Bless America
