There you go conservatives: Obamacare is failing

I don't see how you can have a successful free market with all these requirements. Some insurance companies might profit a bit too much from these laws to the detriment of other insurance companies. An Equalization of Opportunity Bill will be needed to ensure all companies that want to insure Americans have a fair chance.

Perhaps.
But the "negotiations" have already begun.

"Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the (Obamacare) law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums. Additional steps must be taken to stabilize the marketplace and mitigate the adverse impact on consumers."
__Karen Ignagni, President America's Health Insurance Plans, 14 November 2013

It'll all come down to how much taxpayer money is the Obama administration willing to spend to convince the insurance companies of the wisdom of their plan. DonDiego supposes it is a lot.

I'm assured this is a real ad put out, I don't know how to authenticate if it really is, if so would they run the HIV/STD awareness ad next to it?

I wonder if the real reason for this "administrative change" is to bankrupt the private insurers to pave the way to single payer....

I would not be opposed to a single payer system, at least it simplifies everything and would trash this trainwreck AKA Obamacare.If the goal is that everybody had healthcare coverage, then just do it and do away with all this confusion and ridiculous rate hikes and cancelaltions. As someone on here once said, a broken arm shouldn't bankrupt a person. Canada's system seems to work and the people are happy with it.

I am curious to know if the pro Obamacare zealots who post here, and we and you know who you are, if they will tell the truth as to the difference in their health insurance costs after they sign up and start paying. Nothing hits home for liberal zealots until they personally have to face the results of their own demands and choices. When they have to dig deeper into their pockets and savings to comply with their Daddy's demands, maybe then they will get it. Meanwhile, the freeloaders will sit quietly by and use the subsidized health care that those who work will be paying for. America is no longer the land of the free and home of the brave - it has become the land of the freeloader and home of brain dead liberals.

My new insurance plan from my employer went down 12% from last year. We changed from Aetna to Cigna and the savings are said to be due because we now have over 50 employees and qualify for lower group rates.

Thanks Obama.

Mine went up 9% this year & 12% last year

A little poem;- Obama is my Shepherd; I shall not work.
He maketh me to drive on in green vehicles.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my phone.
He leadeth me in the paths of idleness for his own name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the transfer of the wealth,
I will fear no weevils; unless they are endangered.
Thy rod and thy staff impale the free.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of people who actually produce.
Thou annointeth my bread with jelly; my pipe smoketh over.
Surely rebates and Earned Income Credits shall sustain me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in a house, paid for by others, forever.
