Earlier I stated that there were a potential of millions of people losing the health care policies they were told they could keep if they liked them. From the New York Times: In a typical letter, about 25,000 policyholders of Independence Blue Cross in Pennsylvania were informed, “As a result of the health care law, your current health plan will be discontinued effective December 31, 2013.” Consumers living in Washington, D.C., were informed by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield that “your current plan will cease to exist” on Jan. 1 because it does not conform to the new federal mandates. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida said it was informing about 300,000 subscribers that their insurance policies did not meet the new requirements. This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg and only comes from one company. It also only gives examples from two states and the District Of Washington. BCBS has sent these letters to people in most states and has not released publicly the actual numbers of people losing coverage the customers liked and depended on. The article also does not include similar letters from may other insurers! nytimes/2013/10/26/us/politics/general-contractor-named-to-fix-health-web-site.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20131026&_r=0
