HEADS UP to all Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield policy holders; your letter is in the mail:
November 4, 2013
Dear _(Me)_____:
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is discontinuing your individual health benefit plan because it doesn't meet all the requirements of the new health care reform laws )also called the Affordable Care Act).
Thanks, Obama...you S*B, but we actually LIKED our insurance policy.
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH...
Currently, our insurance was costing us $821 per month...it was still affordable to us...and it satisfied all of our needs.
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH...
As a convenience to you, we're transitioning you to a health care reform compliant plan...This new plan, ANTHEM ESSENTIAL DIRECTACCESS-CBCE is available at $1,316.06.
So, thanks to Barack Obama, my family has not only, today, LOST a policy we liked and wanted to keep...we are now going to have to pay $500 MORE a month!
So we're 'piss*d'! My wife and I hereby solemnly vow NEVER to vote for ANY Democrat...EVER AGAIN; in ANY election!
So, be advised: If you're with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, YOUR cancellation letter is probably in the mail (if not your mailbox) already. If you've already received yours...Please share your story.
$831 dollars a month up to $1300?!?! I cannot believe you have to pay that much per month just for healthcare.....
I am absolutely gobsmacked! Damn makes me really appreciate the NHS over here in England now....edit on 6-11-2013 by KingDoey because: (no reason given)

My wife received her cancellation letter also. But she didn't vote for the current "Liar and Thief". If someone loses their insurance due to ObamaCare and they voted for Obama...tough crap! You were probably one of the ones calling the rest of us racists, swearing allegiance to this fool and his un-American beliefs. I'm glad you lost your insurance...you deserve it. You voted for it. My wife didn't. She doesn't deserve it nor do my children (one getting ready to start college) who will also have to deal with the loss of money.
If you voted for him and his ideals...wiping his ass with the constitution, lying about everything, taking from everyone and deciding who deserves it back (surprise...his friends and supporters), etc. You deserve all of this. We don't.

I TOTALLY blame the Democrats...This law passed without a single Republican vote.

Employers with 50 or more employees must provide you with insurance.

And it sucks compared to the ACA insurance because they got a pass. The deductibles are ridiculous and their big sales pitch is "well its a health savings plan lol". The first time you have to use it for anything its a debt making plan.

I'm sorry for your hardship, but I'm glad that everyone's insurance prices are going up.
Real change won't happen until those that are comfortable are made uncomfortable.

Makes me feel extremely lucky to live somewhere with free healthcare. I could not imagine ever having to pay that much for it, nor would I would I ever be able to afford, I would be bankrupt in a month.

Ouch with a capital Reaming!
Total Bummer folks.
I live in Canada, the Great-White-North.
My health care is free.
No it is not free, How much is taken out of your Paychecks in taxes, and what is your property tax? No it is not free ,you are all paying for it. I am not saying that is a bad thing.

To sum up we don't usually notice any costs to ourselves so it seems free even though it isn't. For what little we do pay we get great medical service regardless of the exaggerated stories one might )

Yes, but the supposed "conservative" SCOTUS upheld it.

Why should anyone care about your complaint? You were warned.
You get what you vote for.
