"Obamacare Scare Stories Obscuring Fact That Many, Like Bob, Are Finding Better Coverage"

The MSM would probably just portray this as another example of someone "losing" their coverage.

He could barely believe what he heard: he could get better coverage than the policy being discontinued -- and pay less -- thanks to Obamacare.

"The overall cost of the plans I'm considering is cheaper than the plan I am currently paying for," he wrote me this week. "My total cost for coverage now, including premiums and out of pocket costs, is about $9,800. Two of the plans I'm seriously considering for next year have total costs of $8,400. I'm shocked, but in a good way." So not only did Robert not experience the sticker shock he had been expecting, he will save $1,400 next year on health insurance.

The plan he is leaning toward -- a top-of-the line "platinum" plan -- will have a higher monthly premium, but he will still save on average about $117 a month because of the way his out-of-pocket costs will be calculated.

Robert is among many who are losing their current coverage but in the end will be better off. In fact, considering that many folks buying coverage on the individual market have at least one pre-existing condition -- which insurers can no longer take into consideration when pricing their policies -- it's likely that more people will get more for their insurance buck next year than less.

1. It won't be long now. The ACA, unlike Medicare of Medicaid, touches the lives of nearly everyone

either directly, through their family, work or network of acquaintances. It's going to fade quickly as even the MSM won't agree to broadcast continual abject stupidity for a few of the remaining PBO deniers.

Poor dears, they are going to have to find another one. Just the latest...Benghazi fizzles, now ACA hatred is slipping away, what will they find to keep the faithful natives drumming throughout the days and nights?

Perhaps Hillary, yet again.
