Despite Promises To The Contrary, New Health Law “Could Strip More Than 1 Million People Of Their Insurance Coverage”

PRESIDENT OBAMA: “If You Like Your Current Plan, You Will Be Able To Keep It. Let Me Repeat That: If You Like Your Plan, You’ll Be Able To Keep It.” (President Obama, Remarks At The White House, Washington, D.C., 7/21/09)

ONE MILLION PEOPLE COULD LOSE INSURANCE COVERAGE

“Part Of The Health Care Overhaul Due To Kick In This September Could Strip More Than 1 Million People Of Their Insurance Coverage, Violating A Key Goal Of President Barack Obama’s Reforms.” (“Health Law Could Ban Low-Cost Plans,” Politico, 6/8/10)

“Under The Provision, Insurance Companies Will No Longer Be Able To Apply Broad Annual Caps On The Amount Of Money They Pay Out On Health Policies.” (“Health Law Could Ban Low-Cost Plans,” Politico, 6/8/10)

“Employer Groups Say The Ban Could Essentially Wipe Out A Niche Insurance Market That Many Part-Time Workers And Retail And Restaurant Employees Have Come To Rely On.” (“Health Law Could Ban Low-Cost Plans,” Politico, 6/8/10)

“This Market’s Limited-Benefit Plans, Also Called Mini-Med Plans, Are Priced Low Because They Can, Among Other Things, Restrict The Number Of Covered Doctor Visits Or Impose A Maximum On Insurance Payouts In A Year. The Plans Are Commonly Offered By Retail Or Restaurant Companies To Low-Wage Workers who cannot afford more expensive, comprehensive coverage.” (“Health Law Could Ban Low-Cost Plans,” Politico, 6/8/10)

“Depending On How Strictly The Administration Implements The Provision, The Ban Could In Effect Outlaw The Plans Or Make Them So Restrictive That Insurance Companies Would Raise Rates To The Point They Become Unaffordable.” (“Health Law Could Ban Low-Cost Plans,” Politico, 6/8/10)
