300,000 in Florida lose health insurance thanks to Obamacare
NBC News puts the best spin on it they can, but there is no way to hide the fact that hundreds of thousands, likely millions, are now victims of President Obama’s broken promise that, “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it.” One insurance provider in just one state (Florida) sent out cancellation notices to 300,000 customers.
Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies…By all accounts, the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost — especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify.

FLASHBACK: Remember this? “First, no matter what you’ve heard, if you like your doctor or healthcare plan, you can keep it…”
What this means is that a huge percentage of the 14 million who purchase their health insurance on their own have lost health insurance they were happy with. Now they will be forced onto exchanges that don’t work to purchase insurance that is almost guaranteed to be more expensive. Worse still, their new plan might not allow them to keep their doctor.
If you are wondering why ObamaCare is resulting in people being booted off their health insurance plans, the answer is that ObamaCare mandates the kind of coverage you are now required to purchase. This includes coverage for mental health and substance abuse, maternity care, dental and vision care — coverage millions neither need nor want. So if you current plan doesn’t meet these ObamaCare basics, it is being canceled and your new plan will mandate you pay for this coverage.
