cancellation letter. some will fix that, for others, it could increase premiums. what are the options for all of these people? well, that s the big dilemma here, zoraida. the reason they re doing this is because the obama administration want to get rid of what they call junk plans. they wanted to make sure everyone has quality coverage. fortunately for people in california, they have a state exchange. it s working better than healthcare.gov, but there s still been reports of problems there. all right, so this one million number is really big. but is this happening across the country as well? absolutely. and remember, the administration and the insurance industry knew this was going to happen. there s been estimates from 7 million to 12 million people nationwide who would be canceled. but the obama administration has repeatedly said that many of these people are trading up to better plans. sgll all right, chris. thank you very much for that. appreciate it. this news for the wh
because of obama care. that they like. somebody from richmond, virginia. these plans are being canceled because they don t meet the standards of obama care, the standards that would allow quality care, higher quality care, the obama administration says, better care covering more things. is that not a good goal to have fewer what the obama administration calls junk plans? this has been the problem all along, when the president obama thinks he knows better for families what they need, what they can afford, that s when things go awry. again, millions of americans who have actually chosen the plans that fit their budget and fit their health care needs are being told that you can t have those. surely you acknowledge some of these plans are judge plans, some don t actually cover health insurance when families need them, some of these plans take advantage of individuals? well i m not saying all of them, some of them. but we re hearing from millions of americans who say i like my
the ted cruz wing of the republican party which has been hell bent on destroying the affordable care act any way it could. is that message getting through to the american people? is the president being successful in this regard in explaining this? i don t think the white house still after all this time has fully figured out how to deal with this blanket opposition and obstructionism they get which is fueled by statements that are not true and hyperbolic. very simple fact. right now the republicans, their hair is on fire because a couple million people are getting cancellation notices a lot for junk plans. if you repeal obama care, about 137 million americans would get some form of cancellation notice in terms of being kicked off their plan, there s kids being kicked off their plans, pre-existing conditions. so if they re really concerned about who s going to lose benefits, then they would not be advocating repeal. they d be talking about how to make this system work.
pre-existing conditions, all the things david talked about before. there s been no pushback on what s your plan. to your point of a game of partisan sabotage, they have rushed in with cynical offers to help the president. here s some. i ve worked as much on health care issues around here as any number of people. and frankly better than most. i have a desire to have things work. i think the only way he could rebuilt credibility is to work with republicans and democrats and try to rebuild a foundation. republicans are willing to help. let s work together to undo the harm of obama care and start over with real bipartisan cost-saving reforms. reforms that will actually allow americans to keep plans they like. quick reaction. can t we all just get along? this is so frustrating. if all mitch mcconnell cares about is helping americans keep junk plans, that s a softball to the president and the white house that politically they
in obamacare would force a lot of people off their current health care plan. it seems pretty clear this was a known deception at the time the president was making that pledge to the american people. harris: one of the things i have been reading on twitter is wanting to hold insurance companies responsible. i am wondering if they are not now taking some advantages of this. good to have you today. thank you. thank you for having me. jon: more proof plan cancellations and premium hikes are not only hitting people with junk plans. loyal obamacare supporters in obama lose their private coverage. both are democrats who worked on the reelection campaign. right now they pay 550 per month for a good coverage plan from kaiser permanente but the policy is not being offered again next year because it does not comply with obamacare rules and
