another issue arising for many:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...overnment.html


insurance companies have been getting their ducks in a row for a while. some plans won't be continued, much like the one described in the article. how many people will have gaps in coverage because of this?
i wonder tho if the article's subject contacted her current insurer, who most likely has other options besides the plan that is being discontinued-no doubt because it doesn't meet minimum requirements.
yet another issue with the govt mandating various things that have to be covered, whether one wants them or not. it would be nice if they could still offer catastrophic coverage, without doctor co pays, testing, etc. not everyone needs every available bit of coverage.

Or maternal coverage for non-child baring customers. Whether it be due to medical, choice or sexual orientation.

I think there may be a niche market for insurers to offer catastrophic insurance outside of ACA. For those who may choose it's economically sound to pay the penalty, at least the first and second years.

I guess just like we won't know what Obamacare is until we pass it we won't know how bad it is until it's implemented.

Let Round 1 begin Jan 1. No delays!
