5. I think that the hard thing is those who have confusion with plans cancelled

Nov 2013

and now they are told they can keep them (but, not all of them) and that POB keeps making statements and then retracting. I did catch that part of his statement and felt he seemed to be more blaming the insurance companies and government regulations trying to get the website out than being more attuned to how confusing this is to people out there.

Nancy Pelosi was interviewed on C-Span before POB's Statement and she said that she wanted to let the President speak but, that she felt that the Democrats would be working with him on the extension. So, hopefully our Dems in Congress can maybe clarify the extension so that folks aren't left wondering which plans they can keep and which they can't. The Insurance Companies are already out there stating that some of the policies can't be extended because they are already transitioned out because of the deadlines built in and other problems like insurance companies that already pulled out of states and blaming Obama.

It's messy...and one hopes it can all get worked out.

Think risk pool Peacetrain Nov 2013 #9
Risk pool is a common denominator in insurance. It has nothing to do with Social Security. Cleita Nov 2013 #10
