Study finds that cancelled health care plans had virtually NOTHING to do with Obamacare.
President Obama took some serious heat last year when insurers started dropping millions of Americans from health plans that were no longer Obamacare-compliant, seemingly breaking his promise, "If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance."
A new study, however, backs up the administration's claims that the cancellations were part of the normal churn of the individual health market.
After analyzing patterns in the nongroup health coverage market from 2008 to 2011, Harvard professor Benjamin Sommers found that the market was characterized by high turnover before the Affordable Care Act was implemented. Additionally, Summers found that most people who left the nongroup market acquired other insurance within, suggesting that the cancellations attributed to Obamacare are unlikely to have a significant impact on overall coverage rates.
And another GOP talking point bites the dust.
Just have to keep spreading this information around before November.
If enough people are educated about the truth concerning the Affordable Care Act it will be that muhc harder for the Republicans to beat up the Democrats with it during the campaigns.
