5. So The Right Thing For Them To Have Done Was When They Sent The Letter Cancelling A Persons....

plan - they should have included in that letter that it was because their present plan was deficient and any new coverage would be offering them so much more because all health insurance plans have been upgraded because of the Affordable Care Act. In fact you will be getting better coverage than you ever had with your present plan and you could go to the new exchanges to opt for a plan that suits your pocketbook.

By just cancelling the plans and blaming it on Obamacare with no upside - these same insurance companies confounded this and now that they are being asked to rectify this by the President today - they are still playing the blaming game and pretending to by martyrs.

In fact - it was their intentional sabotaging of this that is in fact 'destabilizing' the insurance market - which is exactly what they intended to do.

Again - instead of our legislators worrying about their constituencies and making sure that they get the best healthcare protection under the law - they are - as always - worried about themselves and their re-election potential.

They've gone down to the root of all our problems in this country - they've turned this political again.
