Obama Officials In 2010: 93 Million Americans Will Be Unable To Keep Their Health Plans Under Obamacare
Obama administration knew that Obamacare would disrupt private plans
If you read the Affordable Care Act when it was passed, you knew that it was dishonest for President Obama to claim that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” as he did—and continues to do—on countless occasions. And we now know that the administration knew this all along. It turns out that in an obscure report buried in a June 2010 edition of the Federal Register, administration officials predicted massive disruption of the private insurance market.
On Tuesday, White House spokesman Jay Carney attempted to minimize the disruption issue, arguing that it only affected people who buy insurance on their own. “That’s the universe we’re talking about, 5 percent of the population,” said Carney. “In some of the coverage of this issue in the last several days, you would think that you were talking about 75 percent or 80 percent or 60 percent of the American population.” (5 percent of the population happens to be 15 million people, no small number, but let’s leave that aside.)
By “coverage,” Carney was referring to two articles. The first, by Chad Terhune of the Los Angeles Times, described a number of Californians who are seeing their existing plans terminated and replaced with much more expensive ones. “I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it,” said one.
The second article, by Lisa Myers and Hanna Rappleye of NBC News, unearthed the aforementioned commentary in the Federal Register, and cited “four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act” as saying that “50 to 75 percent” of people who buy coverage on their own are likely to receive cancellation notices due to Obamacare.
we already know this is happening. we are already seeing the milloins who have had there cancelling notices sent to them in the mail by their insurance companies. which all of them are contributing the cancelations to Obama care. so it is no point for you libs to argue if those cancelations are Obama cares fault . it is what the public believes and perceives ( which they are right to believe it is Obama cares fault)
2 million have been confirmed by insurance companies that have received cancelations and probably many more have received them that we are not made aware. many insurance companies have kept quite about cancelations caused my the Chicago way intimidation by this corrupt bully administration. Experts in the field of health insurance like Bob Laszewski estimates as many as 16 million will receive cancelation notices.
I would like to add before I talk about the second half of the article Obama knew this was going to happen confirmed by this article and a few more. so the lie "you can keep your plan if you like your plan" can not be dismissed as Obama not knowing. So I don't want to read no BS from you libs saying it wasn't a lie because Obama didn't know or could see into the future
Mid-range estimate: 51% of employer-sponsored plans will get canceled
But Carney’s dismissal of the media’s concerns was wrong, on several fronts. Contrary to the reporting of NBC, the administration’s commentary in the Federal Register did not only refer to the individual market, but also the market for employer-sponsored health insurance.
Section 1251 of the Affordable Care Act contains what’s called a “grandfather” provision that, in theory, allows people to keep their existing plans if they like them. But subsequent regulations from the Obama administration interpreted that provision so narrowly as to prevent most plans from gaining this protection.
“The Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013,” wrote the administration on page 34552. All in all, more than half of employer-sponsored plans will lose their “grandfather status” and get canceled. According to the Congressional Budget Office, 156 million Americans—more than half the population—was covered by employer-sponsored insurance in 2013.

I would like for you to read this again
"The Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013"
that is approximately 93 million Americans that is almost one third of the population I will say that again one third of the population
Ok you ideologue sycophant Obama Kool-Aid drunk liberals this is it this is your death knell for 2014, 2016, and a generation coming . After this not one American that has any rational thinking and common sense will ever trust the government to do big things again they will tell you Libs you can take your big government socialist agenda and shove it up your ass. your lord and savior Obama will go down it the history books as the worst president in American history eclipsing Nixon by miles. which is going to be very sad that our first president of color will be remembered as much. So it is best you socialist libs to crawl back under you rocks and wait it out for a generation or more till the American public forgets how big of a failures you are
One last thing before I close less then a month ago you libs and the lame stream Obama lap dog media where all standing around patting your self on the backs about the shut down. spewing how this will be the end of the republican and the Tea Party and how you were going to take over the house. A year from now the voting public will be shut down who. Oh you mean the shut down the Tea Party republicans stood up and tried to save us from this train wreck of Obama care. You didn't kill the Tea Party you made the Tea Party the driving force in American politics for years to come. And you called Ted Cruz stupid
