The Prescription Pad
ObamaCare – CAN’T Keep What You Have and Like
840,000 More Americans to Lose their Current Health Plan
Friday, October 01, 2010
The Principal Financial Group announced yesterday that it will stop selling health insurance because of the Democrats’ health overhaul. This means that 840,000 Americans will lose their current health plan. Even more alarming, the New York Times reports that, “More insurers are likely to follow Principal’s lead.” Health policy consultant, Robert Laszewski, warns that as smaller insurers stop offering coverage, it will “likely to lead to higher prices because large players will no longer face the competition from the smaller plans.”
Despite President Obama’s promise, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan,” the opposite is proving to be true. Americans across the country are at risk of losing their health plan because of the Democrats’ risky trillion dollar experiment. It is time to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with commonsense solutions that lower health care costs and ensure that those who want to keep their current plan are allowed to do so. ###
