Insurance Company Exploitation

This is too important not to share.   Check out Talking Points Memo:

Across the country, insurance companies have sent misleading letters to consumers, trying to lock them into the companies' own, sometimes more expensive, health insurance plans rather than let them shop for insurance and tax credits on the Obamacare marketplaces.

A policyholder who received one of the infamous "cancellation letters" from her insurer says, "People who are afraid of the ACA should be much more afraid of the insurance companies who will exploit their fear and end up overcharging them."

  

AND here's an article on the subject of junk insurance policies from South Carolina's The State newspaper; the piece originated in The L.A. Times, but still . . . .   Now the insurance companies are being exposed for what they're doing.  Better late that never?  Let's hope so!

Note:  I tested this link twice and it wouldn't "go" -- worth copying and pasting in browser window if you're interested in seeing the piece.
