Linda - Is 'pulling out of the assigned risk pools' the same as 'pulling out of the health insurance business' ?
How much are the 'insurance companies' making from 'medicaid' ?
In the article $834 BILLION in 'proposed' medicai d cuts, vs. reported losses of $9.0 billion (paltry in comparison) on the 'Hussein.Ø' pools.
No, the numbers do NOT add up - and there is HELL of a lot of money that is going someplace. It sure ain't to those needing healthcare - like you and I.
So,my caveat to 'follow the money' stands; in spades.
Pay particular attention in the Article to the EXACT stances that the insurers are taking on 'repeal'.
Here's a good one: Some insurers have come out aggressively against key pieces of the House's repeal plan in recent days. UnitedHealth wrote a letter to Hatch this week arguing that Obamacare's Medicaid expansion should be preserved. And the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts penned an op-ed warning against weakening protections for individuals with costly medical conditions.
Does that make ANY sense to you - with what the media have been feeding us ?
Now, does it still seem that the insurers are 'telling you the truth' about their profits/losses ?
There is a LOT we are not being told - and a lot that we are point blank being lied to about.
