Burma: Stop the next Rwanda

OT Burma... I didn't look for the post but you asked me to prove that I get email criticizing Obama so here you are.

...tell President Obama to stop apologizing for the despicable conduct of private health insurance companies—and to hold them accountable. Click here to sign our petition.

With Obamacare going into effect, insurance companies are using confusion created by the new law to mislead the public. They are sending out false cancellation letters, threatening customers with rate hikes and hoodwinking Americans into buying much more expensive plans.

None of this should come as a surprise—private insurance companies are greedy. It’s the reason why we needed Obamacare, and we knew that they would sabotage the new law.

But President Obama has reacted by apologizing to the American people, saying on national television that he is “sorry” to have promised that everyone will keep their old plans.

He must not apologize for the despicable conduct of insurance companies. Sign our petition urging President Obama to set the record straight and hold them accountable.

Keep fighting,

The law mandated the changes. Democrats had to pass it to see what was in it. Obama believed what he was saying. He wasn't lying. He didn't know.

Terminated policies were introduced after ACA's passing -- often with insurers' knowledge they'd be scrapped.

Often?


Any policy issued that didn't meet the standards imposed on Jan. 1 2014 would have to be scrapped.


Policies are issued on an annual basis. Those that don't include the extra one-size-fits-all extra coverages required by Obamacare can't be renewed.


Insurers knew that, and so did Obama.


The difference is that the insurers didn't promise Americans that they could keep the plans they liked. Period.


Now he's backpedalling by placing the onus back on the insurers while you cover for him.
