Hundreds of thousands of Americans who purchase their own health insurance have received cancellation notices since August because the plans do not meet Obamacare’s requirements.

The number of cancellation notices greatly exceed the number of Obamacare enrollees.

Insurance carrier Florida Blue sent out 300,000 cancellation notices, or 80 percent of the entire state’s individual coverage policies, Kaiser Health News reports. California’s Kaiser Permanente canceled 160,000 plans — half of its insurance plans in the state — while Blue Shield of California sent 119,000 notices in mid-September alone.

Two major insurance carriers in Pennsylvania, Insurance Highmark in Pittsburgh and Independence Blue Cross in Philadelphia plan to cancel 20 percent and 45 percent of their total plans, respectively.

Nearly 800,000 New Jersey residents’ health-care plans will not longer exist in 2014, forcing insurers to create new ones for individuals and small business owners that hew to the Obamacare’s new regulations, The New Jersey Star Ledger found in early October.

“I don’t feel like I need to change, but I have to,” Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, told Kaiser Health News. Learned now needs to scramble to find a plan to coverage his teenage daughter, whose health problems have required several surgeries.

More Americans have lost their individual health coverage in Florida and California than have gotten past the login screen on HealthCare.gov, according to The Washington Post, which reports that 476,000 applications have “been started,” but not completed. HealthCare.gov’s dysfunctional website has helped enrollment grind to almost a complete halt.

“Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” Obama said at one rally in July 2009. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”

In fairness its not the website thats stopping most people, its the fact the plans cost more for less coverage. They could have had the best website in the world and the numbers signing up would still be awful.

Insurance companies have cancelled policies since the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Nothing new here except that the vast majority of these folks will find a very affordable and better coverage under Obamacare. Change is such a bitch. And when you have people flaming peoples fears its even worse.

Except that they haven't been.

And that it's directly related to the requirements in the ACA.

And they're not more affordable nor better in most cases.

But other than that....

Lets all leave, give our citizenship to another country, then sneak back in so we can get all the free stuff that the illegals can have!

Come on doubling of the debt, health care throw into chaos, spying on allies and our own citizens. A small price to pay for the first black president.
