(13,570 posts)SHIT insurance. Christ, so many of these people buy these crapola policies because it is ALL they can get, not what they "want". Give me a break. These SHITTY plans jack up costs all the time, don't cover diddly squat, and people think they are PURE SHIT as soon as they actually need to use them, then they are chucked off or jacked up out of sight when they make a claim. The system ALREADY was cancelling policies all the freaking time.
The provisions required by the ACA most certainly improve the plans, and you are knocking what hasn't been given sufficient time to flush out. It is very early on yet. There are thousands upon thousands of people out there who ARE pleased to be getting better insurance at a better deal, not to mention those who have gotten out of their SHITTY PLANS on their own to get better insurance at a better price in the new exchanges. Give it time.
But yeah, we do agree the whole SHITTY insurance company system should be SCRAPPED and replaced with REAL healthcare, which is Medicare For All. Simpler, cheaper, better for business, cradle to grave coverage. SCREW these insurance companies.
