Anthem canceling 30,000 individual health policies for Hoosiers
From the article:
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is canceling the policies of about 30,000 Hoosiers and asking them to switch over to new health plans that comply with Obamacare’s rules.
That change could cause some customers’ premiums to spike while at the same time limiting their choices of hospitals and doctors.
For the past few months, the Indianapolis-based health insurer has been sending out notices to holders of individual insurance policies who renewed their coverage before Dec. 31, 2013. Such early renewals allowed Anthem customers to continue coverage under pre-Obamacare rules.
The Obama administration has said these so-called transitional policies can continue until as late as 2016. But an Anthem spokesman said the insurer chose to end them now due to what it perceived as modest demand.
That will be 30,000 fewer people voting for Democrats in this election
