Good news, everyone, Obamacare is causing an increase in employment. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/obamacare-woes-widen-as-insurers-get-wrong-data-2013-10-18

Quote
Insurers say the federal health-care marketplace is generating flawed data that is straining their ability to handle even the trickle of enrollees who have gotten through so far, in a sign that technological problems extend further than the website traffic and software issues already identified.

Emerging errors include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations, say executives at more than a dozen health plans. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Nebraska said it had to hire temporary workers to contact new customers directly to resolve inaccuracies in submissions. Medical Mutual of Ohio said one customer had successfully signed up for three of its plans.

Rationed health care and death panels run by our super efficient government. They're doing such a great job with the obmacare roll-out some people think they should take over 100%.

Oh, so like the entire health industry would be controlled by our government?   Interesting

Yeah, it's a pretty remarkable disconnect, even for libtards, but you just can't fix stupid. I'm guessing this will be Hillary's big push in 2016.

Odd, a whole bunch of insurers are canceling policies due to ObamaCare. I guess they're all reading "the law" wrong. Chum should explain to them that all these mandates actually took effect years ago.

Many carriers are canceling policies Dec 31, some in March, April 2014.  Most are pulling out of the major med market and switching to "hospital specific indemnity plans" which reduce exposure considerably because the plans have set limits.

healthcare shouldn't be a for profit industry, just like firefighting.  it should be a service provided by the government to it's citizens, paid for by taxes, just like other services.

that's not to say that private healthcare shouldn't be available as well for those that wish to go that route.

the disconnect is republicans thinking it's ok to make massive profits off of sick people.

I think "hate" might be too strong a word. The few Canadians I know seem incapable of "hating" anything. They're kind of like a whole country full of Mormons. They don't seem really mad about their taxes (VAT, etc.) - they've just kind of accepted it. Same with their healthcare. Basically, the ones I've talked to say it's neat that they don't have to "pay" out of pocket for it, but it sucks how long you have to wait for even routine treatment, doctor selection is limited, and it's an even longer wait for most surgeries and specialized procedures. They just kind of shrug their shoulders.

I know, right? Where do they keep finding all these liars who claim to have sent/received cancellation notices? Probably a bunch of Republican activists.

Good news though, I think Obama has found about a dozen (sick) people who actually signed up for insurance, and he's flying them in to provide a backdrop for his latest "remain calm" speech today. I wonder if one of them will be Obamachad?

I hope Obamachad makes the trip. I can't wait to get a look at all of these sick deadbeats who are going to get the healthcare that they most certainly do not deserve.

Policies get cancelled every year for a variety of business related reasons.  One thing we should definitely do, though, is expect that the people talking about this are citing the correct reasons and not just confused.  Much like the people on this board, they wouldn't talk about something if they didn't truly know what they were talking about.

It's all in the wording of the question.



If they left the subjective word "affordable" out, the answers would be much different.
