A Stage-4 Gallblader Cancer Survivor Says: I Am One of ObamaCare’s Losers – WSJ.com.
My choice is to get coverage through the government health exchange and lose access to my cancer doctors, or pay much more for insurance outside the exchange (the quotes average 40% to 50% more) for the privilege of starting over with an unfamiliar insurance company and impaired benefits.
Nothing to see here, move along. BUT before you do, perhaps you may want to consider if it could happen to you here in Colorado (or quite likely pick any state).
My daughter has been admitted to Children’s Hospital 7 times, so obviously access to their staff is on the top of our list of requirements for a new health plan. With that in mind, I ran a quote for my family on Connect for Health Colorado. 49 plans are available in zip 80302. I then added Children’s Hospital as a provider and the number of plans reduced to TWO!
Nationwide network? I believe Rocky Mountain Health Plans PPO is the only Colorado exchange plan to offer such a feature. Edie Littlefield Sundby is just collateral damage. Be careful out there.
Oh, thankfully we aren’t required to change plans. We are fortunate enough to have a plan that qualifies for grandfathered status. The kind of plan that’s supposedly junk. Well, don’t touch my junk.
