Over 200,000 Coloradans Lose Insurance Thanks to ObamaCare

November 14, 2013

Over a month into ObamaCare enrollment, thousands of Coloradans have been told that their health insurance plans will be canceled thanks to the health care law.

Only 3,736 people in Colorado have been able to successfully sign up on the state exchange – but almost 250,000 people have been kicked off their insurance since the enrollment began.

“To have almost a hundred health plan cancellations for every exchange sign-up in Colorado under Obamacare is exponentially worse than even the most extreme skeptic could have predicted,” said Kelly Maher, executive director for Compass Colorado.

Over 20 insurance carriers in the state canceled their policies as of November 1st – and many people in the state are saying that their old companies have given them no support or help in trying to find new insurance, which is part of the ObamaCare plan.

Kathleen Baker is among those furious at the changes. She said her Kaiser Permanente policy was canceled, and a replacement would cost 17 percent more a month with higher deductibles.

“I would like to know how the president, or anyone in Congress, can say this is better for me,” she said.
