More than a dozen states plan to cancel health care policies not in compliance with ObamaCare

Fox News:

More than a dozen states plan to cancel health care policies not in compliance with ObamaCare in the coming weeks, affecting thousands of people just before the midterm elections.

 

"It looks like several hundred thousand people across the country will receive notices in the coming days and weeks," said Jim Capretta of the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

 

The policies are being canceled because states that initially granted a reprieve at the request of President Obama are no longer willing to do so.

 

In coming weeks, 13 states and the District of Columbia plan to cancel such policies, which generally fall out of compliance with the Affordable Care Act because they don’t offer the level of coverage the law requires.

 

Virginia will be hardest hit, with 250,000 policies expected to be canceled.

 

And because federal law requires a 60-day notice of any plan changes, voters will be notified no later than November 1, right before the Nov. 4 midterms.

 

Many of those forced out of their current plans and into ObamaCare may not be able to keep their doctors. They also could face higher deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, making ObamaCare an election issue on the eve of voting.

 

Obama had originally unequivocally promised that under his health care plan, everyone could keep their doctors and plans.
