obama-yucks-it-upOn June 15, 2009, when Obama was selling his Obamacare to Americans, he promised: If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, period.
As Obamacare began to be implemented, millions of Americans discovered, too late, that Obama had lied, when they were notified by their insurance companies that their health plans had been cancelled. (Go the end of this post for more.)
Obama and the Left then blamed the evil greedy insurance companies for the cancellations, conveniently leaving out the fact that the companies had no choice because those plans were non-compliant with the dictates of the new Obamacare law.
Last Wednesday, May 7, 2014, the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on PPACA [Obamacare] Enrollment and the Insurance Industry. (PPACA are the initials of the Orwellian name for Obamacare, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.)
The purpose of the hearing was to ascertain just how many Americans actually have enrolled in Obamacare, as well as who was responsible for the previous round of policy cancellations and who should face blame for the next round.
Six executives of health insurance companies provided testimonies as expert witnesses:
1.Dennis Matheis, President ofCentral Region and Exchange Strategy,WellPoint, Inc. Wellpoint is an independent licensee of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
2.Frank Coyne, Vice President of Operations and Chief Transformation Officer, BlueCross BlueShield Association. The BC and BS companies collectively provide health care coverage for 100 million members, one in three Americans, in every U.S. zip code.
3.Mark Pratt, Senior Vice President of State Affairs, Americas Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the national association representing health insurance plans. AHIPs members provide health and supplemental benefits to more than 200 million Americans through employer-sponsored coverage, the individual insurance market, and public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
4.J. Darren Rodgers, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer,Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC). HCSC does business as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, and is the largest customer-owned, non-profit health insurance company in America.
5.Paul Wingle, Executive Director, Individual Business and Public Exchange Operations and Strategy, Aetna, Inc.
6.Brian Evanko, President, U.S. Individual Segment, Cigna Corporation
Rep. Cory Gardner
In the hearing, Congressman Cory Gardner (R-Colo) sought to get to the bottom of the health plan cancellations. He pointedly asked the insurance executives the reason for the cancellations.
On his website, Rep. Gardner reports that The witnesses [insurance company executives] confirmed thatthese cancellation notices were sent out due to the Presidents healthcare law.
That is bad enough, but worse is yet to come.
Millions more Americans will see their plans canceled when Obamas healthcare law is fully enforced.
How can that be?
Simple.

Simple.
Obamacare has caused insurance companies to cancel the health plans of millions of Americans because of those plans non-compliance with Obamacare. But those cancellations are just the tip of the iceberg because persistent malfunctioning of the Obamacare sign-up website, healthcare.gov, led Obama to keep extending the sign-up deadline, as well as a one-year delay in the full enforcement of Obamacare. That one-year delay, in turn, means that there will be more insurance plan cancellations when Obamacare is enforced in full.
