One of these days, a dire prediction about Obamacare will come true. Today isn’t it.
The Administration on Thursday released new information about the “Federally Facilitated Marketplaces.” Under Obamacare, every state must have an exchange—a place where people without employer-sponsored insurance can find insurance. Some states are running their own exchanges. Others are asking the federal government to do most, or all of, the work. Those federal-run exchanges are the FFMs.
To be successful, exchanges must have enough plans to generate some competition. The whole idea of the exchanges is to let people shop around, seeking the best combination of benefits, service, and prices—just as they might shop for a car, an accountant, or any other good or service. Yes, that's probably more of a conservative idea than a liberal one. But, for competition to take place, insurers must participate. And conservatives have predicted the insurers would stay away, because of Obamacare's supposedly onerous regulations and a fear that the whole system is doomed to collapse.
Even liberals like me have worried how the insurers might act—and, sure enough, some carriers really do seem wary. But plenty aren't. On Thursday, the administration announced it expects the FFMs to have more than sufficient competition. At least one new insurer will be offering plans in about three-fourths of the FFMs, according to the administration, and 90 percent of “target enrollees” (people the administration is hoping will use the exchanges) will be able to choose from at least five different insurers. Given the poor state of competition that exists in many states today, the administration says, that’s a big improvement.you might ask yourself, how can this be, for 4 and a half years you listen to every negative descriptive word the right wing could come up with to demonize ObamaCares, they are still at it today.
rest assured it's just another one of those things exposed that are lies and designed to create failure by convincing you it is a failure.
by doing this and attempting 37 times to appeal law it is simple, they don't want this because they feel the ins. co.'s will make a few dollars less making that concern paramount over your well being and health, do they really deserve another shot, if they do all this out of office imagine the tsunami that would come if they were to get in again.
your choice 2014.
