The Affordable Care Act was necessary because private insurance companies cannot be trusted to provide universal health care. They have an interest in getting consumers out of good plans and are now legally bound to discontinue their subpar plans.
Mr. President, it is time to set the record straight. It is not your fault that some insurance companies are now blatantly misleading some customers. Please do not apologize for their reprehensible conduct.
Why is this important?
With Obamacare going into effect, health insurance companies are misleading customers.
While some on the individual market are losing their plans because they don’t comply with the new law, others whose plans are grandfathered in are being told they’ll lose coverage—and are threatened with rate hikes. Some insurers are using confusion created by the new law to hoodwink their customers into enrolling in much more expensive plans.
So why is President Obama apologizing—telling the American public on national TV that he’s “sorry” to have promised that everyone can keep their health insurance? The actions of some of these companies proves why we needed health care reform in the first place: insurance companies are greedy, and cannot be trusted.
It is time to set the record straight. Tell President Obama to stop apologizing for the despicable conduct of private insurance companies and hold them accountable.
