President Obama portrayed the insurance plan cancellations caused by his health care law as a problem facing a small individual market, but insurance companies are dropping group plans as well.

The problem is broader than Obama said, as city workers in Bel Aire, Kan., learned last month. "Because of health care reform provisions, the availability of our product offerings had to change," Blue Cross Blue Shield wrote in an Oct. 24 cancellation notice. "As a result, effective Jan. 1, 2014, your current group health benefit package will no longer be available at renewal -- but we are here to help you switch to another high quality benefit plan."
The alternative plans are not as good and cost more than the pre-Obamacare policy. "I simply wanted you to know the pain this is causing me and my staff in losing the terrific health coverage we had through Blue Cross Blue Shield in exchange for worse coverage at a higher price," Bel Aire, Kan., City Manager Ty Lasher wrote in an email this week to Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan.Read the full story HERE.

More lies. And he thinks he can head off the group/employer plan trouble at the pass by shifting the blame over to insurance cos.
He's the smartest man in the world, and we are all fools, or so he thought. But it's not quite working out that way anymore.
