Death panels, anyone?

Excerpt: "For a cancer patient, medical coverage is a matter of life and death. Take away people's ability to control their medical-coverage choices and they may die. I guess that's a highly effective way to control medical costs. Perhaps that's the point."

not sure how it's obamacares fault that united healthcare decided to ditch cali. tough story tho.

Joey never met a story he couldn't exploit as Obama's fault. See what happens when lobbyist for United Health et all write the bills. Loop holes galore and out worthless useless congress most assuredly didn't even read them.

they should have put everyone on medicare and been done with it. united health et al could have sold supplements. none of this horse crap with exchanges, sigwebsites, loopholes, etc, etc ad nauseum. and no more medicaid, none of this garbage with subsidies, who has group, what's included, what's not, no fines, no one trying to play the 'i won't sign up til i'm sick' game.

there's a reason why health insurers stock went thru the roof after the scotus ruling.
it is a convoluted snafu, courtesy of health insurance companies and our federal govt.
yay.

Nice try - your guy stepped in it this time, and for once it isn't sliding off like Teflon. He's in trouble.

But not as much trouble as those who are losing their oncologists due to the forced termination of the plan they were going to be able to keep.

The mask is off. He is an Orwellian nightmare of unspeakable proportions.

no one forced united healthcare to get rid of this plan. they opted out of california, just like various insurance companies opt out of various states in other insurance lines, like homeowners.

now, as for the cheaper plans with minimal coverage, yes, they're being forced out. and that's too bad. it's what happens when you let the foxes write the laws that involve the hens.

as for the last sentence..really?

I guess he wont get that 3rd term. :zz:
