Aetna, one of the world’s largest insurance providers, has announced they will abandon Obamacare exchanges next year in more than two-thirds of the counties where it now sells the coverage, the latest in a string of defections by big insurers that will limit customer choice in many markets and likely drive up costs for consumers.
Now, it appears the move was, in part, designed to send a political message from the medical industry, aimed right at President Barack Obama and the Democratic party.
And the message seems clear –“Give the health industry what it wants… or else.”
It all traces back to a letter first released by The Huffington Post that implies the move was, in some ways, payback towards the Obama administration. The letter says Aetnas withdraw from Obama exchanges is directly linked to the Department of Justice’s move to disapprove the company’s merger with Humana.
The announcement late Monday came just weeks after Humana also said they would also cut their coverage plans for 2017.
Dwindling insurer participation is becoming a concern for Obamacare, especially for rural markets, in part because competition is supposedly what will control insurance price hikes, and many carriers have already announced plans to seek around 10 percent or more in price increases again in 2017.
This Obamacare disaster “is really going to be felt in Southern states and rural areas,” said Cynthia Cox, associate director of health reform and private insurance for the Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care issues.
The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated earlier this year that about one in five U.S. counties could be down to one health insurer on their public exchanges for next year, and about 70 percent of those markets will be rural. That was before Aetna announced its changes. Cox said the total may be closer to one in four now.
Rural markets can be less attractive to insurers because there are fewer customers for insurers to spread costs across, and hospitals and other health care providers can build dominating market positions, making them better able to negotiate rates. In contrast, urban markets, where most people live, are expected to still have plenty of health insurance choices on their exchanges for 2017.
Alabama, Alaska and Oklahoma are among the states that will have one health insurer selling individual coverage on their exchanges next year. South Carolina and most of North Carolina could join that list due to the Aetna decision, Cox noted.

Our political leaders and congress don’t care. They aren’t going to use the medical plan. They have special plans that we taxpayers pay for.
Truth.
Eliminate all politicians plans a and put them with the herd subjected to this.
They want the single payer plan. For those not familiar with single payer, just talk to a vet like me about it. Unless an emergency, it is 6 months to a year to see your primary doctor!
An emergency can be handled by a different doctor in a week!
That means that if I have an emergency, I am fired to go to an ER.
It takes 6 months to get into .ca specialist!
It took me 6 months to get an MRI! No follow up!
My MS doctor has not followed up for a year!
I suggest going to the Dallas VA or Johnson City TN VA.
The first problem that by 7am, you won’t find a parking spot for an hour! Then walk into these sprawling facilities and you will see thousands of vets waiting to see a doctor!!
That is what single payer is all about and that is the democratic true goal. I hope y’all enjoy it, because it truly sucks!)
It seems to be a leadership attitude problem. I got mine and the hell with you. You served so I could keep what I have. We don’t need you anymore. FOOLS.
Do you believe Obama or Hillary cares about us vets? I don’t. What they say about vets is nothing but hot air.
Remember what Obumer said about the veterans being volunteers , So they shouldn’t expect any benefits . what a jerk he has no respect for Veterans or the American people. Hillary ,Bill , and a large amount of these politicians need to be replaced. far to many are more worried about being politically correct than they are doing the jobs we elected them for. The American people should always come first. I for one am tired of seeing our money thrown out the back door with the slop water. $400 million taken on pallets , in an unmarked 737 airliner to Iran what to hell are they thinking. we didn’t do this before ,we all remember when Mr Reagan was elected President the day he was inaugurated . they were so afraid of him the hostages were on their way home before the parade was over.
God Bless Ronald Reagan , God Bless America and God Bless Donald Trump
Right expect no benefits! I’m a Vietnam vet., 7 years, on disability for a gunshot wound and PTSD rated at 60%. I’m 55 miles from the nearest out patient clinic and 88 miles from the VA Hosp. I was taken to an emergency room of a non VA Hosp for enternal bleeding from a drug the VA prescribed to me. VA refused to pay for the visit! BUT a Congressman or Rep. serves for at least 90 days and he/she gets full salary ($179,000.00 a year min.) and medical benefits FOR LIFE!! You tell me, is that right and fair??
I have met many people from other countries like the Netherlanads, Canada, who health care is payed for by the government. Drop all insurances, kill the Insurance companies. Put a health tax to be paid to the government for health care an everyone has health coverage an medication coverage. I pay 104$dollars a month to medicare which I have paid into the system every since I started working an still am paying to Social Security. Where in the Hell is all the money I paid for medicare/medicaid out of my check every week. The American working people have been robbed by the dam insurance companies an our government on health care. It is time for something to be solved here. The insurance companies and the medical & drug companies are breaking americians on what little the government doesn’t take from us. As a Senior Citizen we cannot keep paying for medicare an a supplement insurance. Obamamcare does not work, never has worked. For the veterans of our country to be treated so badly when they need an have certain health problems alot due to the war they were in is a disgrace. The VA is a failure to them. We need a One Health Care program that covers all our citizens an every working american pay a small tax to this fund. The immigrants get free health care, child care, food stamps an there needs are met, hello when will my needs be met. God our government is so corrupt in all areas that it will take God’s intervention to straight it out. We all will be starving an be like other countries. Look at what is already happening, get real, get them out of office an vote for someone who is tuff an wants to FIX THE SYSTEM!!! VOTE TRUMP!!!!
Obama and Hillary don’t care about anyone. Obama’s friend got the job of screwing up our medical insurance, increasing Medicare, dropping needed drugs. The “D” plan is too expensive. Cheaper not to have the plan. Drugs cheaper with no plan. Refugees get help starting a business but our returning Vet’s have no jobs, can’t get Welfare. Homeless? ? Has anyone ever heard of a Veteran getting help from our government to starve business? Check out how much help Refugees get in money to start a business. No more refugees. OR ILLEGALS.
I agree whole heartedly with you the refugees an immigrants get more benefits than the American people. They have never sent me a letter to start a business an I have worked in the US all my life. The American people are being pushed out, left out of the adminstration system we help built. I pray God sends all the corrupted people in our government to hell!!!
it is coming to the point that all vets young and old start doing something about the problems and eliminate the problems……. get out and vote out the incumbents who are doing the harm. if this does not work there are other methods that could work….. lets start by getting Trump/Pence in office as our new commander in chief and Pence our new VP.. we all know the Clintons and others are corrupt ,,,, now is the time we stop the corruption period.
TRUMP/PENCE 2016–2024
So true.She wants the power so bad, she’ll say any LIES to you guy’s like Trump don’t like Blacks, Espanish, it’s a lie. Who give jobs to the Spanish Trump or Hillary,& they love him.who build the Ice Keating ring an Central park Trump ? Hillary Illegally make millions in the Stock Market. Busy getting Rich for her self.What does she build,&do for us or The COUNTRY ZERO. Now CITIZENS put two & two together. & Think Who will really make America great again,LAW & Order we need that very bad.? All these young girls getting Rape Kill (Criminals Rapist, do we need them.) WAKE -UP People
Women’s are voting for Hillary because she’s a woman, No put AMERICA First .Remember AMERICA IS A VERY POWERFUL COUNTRY.LET’S MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN Regards to all of you
It hurts to see all veterans get treated with such disrespect and a dangerous one too! Our veterans weren’t kidding when they said waiting for an appointment is like waiting on their death!
Thank you for your service, I pray we reform the VA and get our veterans the medical attention ASAP they need!
Another point. Those for life salaries and benefits were voted in by a Democratically controlled Congress and House!!
You are absolutely right; people talk about wanting ‘single payer’ but have no clue as how that works. I mean doesn’t work.
……….and will never work!!!!
You are “CORRECT”, never will work, hasn’t worked for all those countries that have
single payer system. Oh it works good for a while, until they run out of,O P M. “other peoples money”.
Single payer seems to work very well in many other countries- all of the leading democracies. We all know in the US the pharmaceutical, medical device and insurance companies lobby to create laws in their interest not ours. They all oppose a single payer system. If a single payer option was available, most people would go for it and it would save the country billions per year. We pay 2.5 times more for health care compared with the rest of the world. For the most part, the results are no better than elsewhere. In fact, in a comparison, the US is behind many other countries…even Slovenia is better than us! Let’s face it, our pharmaceutical corporations spend almost as much on marketing as on research!…and lobbying astronomical amounts of money….where’s the problem?
Anything that Obama and his mad Democrats ends in disaster. ‘If it works, fix it’ is the battle cry of Obama.
Why is this man not in jail where he belongs along with his Muslim advisers. Hillary is no better. The United States of America is no longer united.
The very definition of Socialized medicine…., and you are right “It Sucks”. Less services, longer waits and higher costs.
Congress should be forced to subject to and live by all the same rules, regulations, and laws that the pass for us peons.
I AGREE, they should be subject to the same rules.
We the people pay for all their Insurance and the salary, and all they do is LIE to get re-elected.
Term Limits for them all, and no life time pension. They only work about 90 days a year, and get big money when they leave. SORRY Bunch of CROOKS.
In fact, they will happily sign the bill that will force us to pay double taxes to support Obamacare.
We’d better hope and pray that Trump gets in, or we’ll find out what it is like to live in a third world socialist/communist country (and having spent time in such places, I can tell you we don’t want to do that!).
I think that is the direction Hillary would like to take America!!! She cannot become POTUS! Trump is the solution to help America!!
This is exactly what Mr. Obama has wanted from the beginning. (Look up his speeches from 10-15 years ago.) He wants to completely destroy the health insurance industry and replace it with single payer. Events are going his way. Watch out!!
Yep…..that was the plan all along. get ready for complete Government control of health care. Don’t be shocked if Trump also sees that as the solution for the Obamacare mess. It will appear as the easy, simple solution.
We need TERM LIMITS and for CONGRESS and DC to live under laws they Pass! Remember Ocare will be cheaper and U can keep your Doctors? Another Democratic Cluster Fuck!
We knew from the beginning, long before Obamacare became law, that the progressive cabal intended for it to fail and fail relatively early, forcing all insurance companies to back out, leaving people with no insurance except what the government would then provide. Socialized medicine has always been the plan. And, as foreseen, all of the ills, failures and tragedy that accompanies state-run healthcare will be forced on us. State-assigned doctors, long waits for treatment, death panels … it’s all coming.
Hopefully, Americans will learn from their mistakes!
DUMB ASS AMERICANS!! YOU LET THIS PIECE OF CRAP WALK ALL OVER YOU
Agreed! Let’s toss
out all of the corruption in D.C this November by ending any association to Obama and his administration by sending the Clintons to jail and getting Trump in there to cram up the mess!
Sorry.. I meant clean up the mess.
All the unnatural deaths and suicides that follow the Clintons by association are about to change and its about time….. too many are looking for retaliation in the wrong full deaths are coming to a head.
I agree – it was obvious that something was really wrong with Obama before he was elected.
I’m hoping Trump gets in and orders sealed Obama documents to be unsealed and published; that should land him in jail for treason or espionage (depending on whether we find out he is or is not a US citizen), and subject to a possible death penalty.
Even that wouldn’t be bad enough for him considering how many people’s deaths he is complicit in, but it’s the best we can do.
I hope his execution for treason is public.
That should send a message to all the other crooked crime family politicians.
And just think hillbilly next in line if you don’t get out and vote to get rid of this junk
Has anyone read the part of Obama care that say’s were to be chipped in 2017?
Why is it that a President can lie so profusely about a bill with horrific consequences you his constituents and yet there is no recourse? In civil court, anyone lying like this could be successfully sued, yet in politics the political elite has constructed immunity from prosecution. Disgusting.

This was borrowed from another blog, authors unknown, please spread it far and wide!
This would be more accurate if “idiots” were changed to “evil.”
They are the ones with massive bank accounts; they are the ones destroying other people’s lives; they are the ones who steal from us successfully – they can’t be idiots.
They are EVIL.
Thank you. Good one!! I liver close to borders. Feels like a war zone. Yes CA government IDIOTS.
Very well written by whom ever wrote this!! So very true.
You wrote out this very well, I suggest you place this directly on Facebook!
Is there a way to copy it? It won’t cut and paste. Can you send to me directly. Everyone should see this..I so agree and thank you for reposting. And thanks to whoever complied this for the blog
Cal gal-
Highlight it. Hold down the “CTRL” button and press “c”. Go to a page you want to save it to(say, for example, an email you send to yourself), put the cursor where you want to start it, then hold down the CTRL button and press “v”. Works for me!
Barry Soetoro should never have been installed in the White House. He was never elected, he was planted there to destroy this once great republic and usurper care was one of the big tools employed to do this.
Failure by design! The insurance companies have made billions in the last 7 years with Obama could care less!!!! They got what Obama promised them which was a captured audience. He forced people to pay for health care that some didn’t need, and at premium prices. He knew it would fail. It’s designed to fail. Single payer was always the goal. Now we’re there.
Someone mentioned the populace being chipped in 2017. That’s the mark of the beast.
We’re living in the end times. If you take that chip, you are doomed. You’ll be treated worse than an animal. I’m not sure that Obama is the antichrist. If he isn’t, he’s setting him up. Obama is pure evil.
I suspect that Islam is the antichrist (from the middle east, wears a middle eastern headdress, few people seem able to see the evil nature) and that Allah is Satan.
God says “love one another,” and “suffer the little children to come unto me.'”
Allah says “kill or enslave everyone who isn’t in my club” and “use the little children to kill those who aren’t in my club.” Like Ba’al and Molocoh, Allah approves of barbaric evils like burning people alive.
Does that sound like the same entity? Wouldn’t Islam be greatest joke possible for Satan to play on God and Christians?
You got it right. The word Allah used by Muslims is a contraction of the name el-Alilah, who is the moon god, in reality a satanic demon. Until Christians set aside their denominational bickering and unite under the banner of the Holy Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Satan will continue to have power over us through his evil forces in his Islamic faith. Dedicate your heart, strength and to following Our Lord and His teachings. Unite, Christians, or perish!
The game plan all along. Passed in the dead of night,behind closed doors. Air force one comes to Ohio ,picks up one of our representatives who was a no vote and poof,four hours later he’s a yes man. Our so-called representatives do not represent “We the People”.
Y’all can bitch and whine about things like Obamacare, but still vote these same idiots in to office are idiots. Educate yourselves about the candidates and vote out the sob’s that are ruining our country. Then you can cheer your choice got into office. I feel better when I get my choice into office and he/she does a good job running this country.
I just hope the Demorats can see the future if Hitalry is elected and she continues this path. WAKE UP ! ! ! ! !
Aetna is the epitome of health care choice anyway,I had them in 2008 and they typically hold up payments to your health provider for as much as 4 months.My doctor told me to go else where because he could not put up with ATNA,s out right avoidance of paying him.My family suffered greatly because of our loss of our family doctor of 30 years.It was not just me either. Many members of the union plan we were on experienced many failures of the Aetna health to cover many services in constantly calling for a so called services review for ridiculously long months.Their company holds the money for months back from providers to gain big bucks in their investments then finally pays the customers when they reach a mega profit line on wealth.
In the three counties around me in rural Texas. We have lost five clinics and the local hospital is closing. Obamacare was the nail in the coffin.Hospital help now is 60 miles away. There is one clinic left in my county and it may be closing. Quite a few people happy to now have insurance. But having insurance means nothing if there is no place to go.
VOTE.,
It was a slap in the face to ALL Americans to show obama can do what he wants- it was a scam to prop up his big money friend democrat donors in the insurance business it was a scheme to rip off the American people and it was a scheme to drive this country further in the ground with bigger debt – OBAMACARE AND GLOBAL WARMING IS THE BIGGEST SCAMS EVER PLAYED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BESIDES THE FACT OBAMA SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO B PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY!
The problem with the system has little or nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The problem i, first, the insurance companies. According to a study by the Commonwealth Fund, a health care policy organization, American insurers spent more than $600 per person on administrative costs, more than twice as much as in any other developed country. Mark T. Bertolini, Aetna’s CEO, received more than $17 million in compensation last year.
The problem also lies with our hospital systems. According to a study published in health care policy journal Health Affairs, $1 out of every $4 that you spend when you go to a hospital goes to bureaucracy instead of patient care. The average hospital administrator makes over a quarter million dollars a year. Many, if not most, of these insurance and hospital administrators have little or no clinical experience, but they dictate what medical care all of us receive and the prices we pay for that care and our insurance premiums.
Really Louis!! It has EVERYTHING to do with Obumacare!!! That is why all the insurance companies are pulling out as most of the Doctors already have. According to all the reports, Rate increases caused by Obamacare are going to increase as much as 40% next year! Even the people that receive subsities can’t afford it. The sole remaining companies, Atena and United Health Care, have pulled out of mose of the exchanges already!! Before you spout off and say the problems have little or nothing to do with Obamacare, you better wise up and get your facts straight!!
The ACA has so many problems that there is not space to go into those. Nevertheless, it has been successful in cutting the number of uninsured Americans in half, doing away with ridiculous provisions punishing anyone with a “preexisting condition,” and freeing those people from being tied to a single employment possibility because of health concerns. My wife has more than 40 years’ experience as a hospital nurse, and she and her colleagues can give many examples of lives that were saved by the increased access of the poor to healthcare.
Going back to the days of Nixon’s presidency, proposals have been made to change our system so that access to healthcare would be recognized as a basic human right and not the privilege of the rich and coddled. The ACA has done more than anything before it to bring about that recognition.
The problems that are being seen with the exchanges and some of the insurers are the direct result of provisions that were demanded by those very insurance companies and given to them to secure their support of the legislation. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to legislate away greed, and there are many levels of greed in the present system.
Largely because of that greed, our healthcare system is regarded as inferior to that of dozens of other countries – including countries such as Greece, Colombia, Cyprus, Oman, Morocco, Dominica and similar “less developed” countries. The ACA needs some serious fixing, but it has been a definite first step that had to be taken – though political road blocks left it as a faltering baby step.
“Largely because of that greed, our healthcare system is regarded as inferior to that of dozens of other countries – including countries such as Greece, Colombia, Cyprus, Oman, Morocco, Dominica and similar “less developed” countries.”
Assigning greed of a few miserly corporate opportunists in order to explain away the intentional systemic failure and subsequent collapse of the U.S. healthcare system is not only, illegitimate, but naive, at best.
That is if I were to believe your elementary valentine card pr0bamacare commercialized words typed above. The present situation is caused by the insatiable greed of the ceo’s in the insurance industry amd are the culprits of all of the U.S. healthcare system ‘inferiority’, as claimed by other, even “less developed countries”. To some extent, I concur, but not entirely.
Just like all of the ‘solar industry’ and the taxpayer subsidized loans they received, but defaulted. It is what is now known as 0bamacrony. It is self-explanatory..
Jay P.-
There has been an “out” from the beginning, for those who are Constitutionally literate.
All bills for revenue must originate in the House.
D’OweBamacare originated in the Senate.
Ergo, when SCOTUS “ruled”(i very much disagree with their “interpretation,” since neither the WORD “health” nor even the IDEA that Americans can be required to purchase anything from anyone at any time for any reason, but still) that D’OweBamacare was “legal as a tax,” those who know the ACA was sourced in the Senate know they need not participate one whit.
No one is bound to obey any Unconstitutional law, and no courts are bound to enforce it.
Sorry; the phrase “appear in the Constitution at all” should have been included in the parenthetical statement…that is, that neither the word “health” nor even the IDEA that any American can be forced to buy anything from anyone at any time for any reason appear in the Constitution at all.
This proves we have a traitor in the WH, he’s been there for almost 8 years plenty of time to destroy us, we will see much more in the next few months. If you are thinking of voting for hillary she is the end game EVIL!
He IS a traitor, everything he’s done has been to destroy America, on purpose. The next few months will see the failure of most of our grid, as his buddies and brothers, the Islamic terrorists blow up various sections of it to make the whole thing fall. He taught them how to take out entire countries grids in the middle east, they did, in Yemen, the whole country went dark and was not reported by our MSM. Now Obama has been ordering border patrol to bus in illegal aliens, including islamic terrorists, into the US and to just let them go. They have been finding their prayer mats too at the border as many have just walked in. They are going to target our grid, in early Fall, late September/early October so better have plenty of food, water, and supplies stored at home. Be prepared!! I’ve heard it from too many sources to tell, including some with military connections.
YOU MORONS…you voted for this and you deserve this!
When Obamacare was disclosed to the public I thought immediately that it would be a disaster. In my opinion the plan was written by socialists, voted into law by socialists, and signed by a socialist president, all with the objective of forcing private health insurers out of business or out of the market. Why? To force the country into government run socialized medicine! The idiots are already proposing to do it.
This piece of crap was passed with the aid of Bribery let by the Corruption Reid and supported by the rest of the lowest form of life on the planet, Politicians, Bureaucrats and lowest of all scum the so called News Media People. I called my scum bag Senators and so called Representative that Reid must be toss from office. What I did get silent from these scum and then harassment over the phone and in a letter. One we need term limits, two Elect someone outside the Washington DC, Power scum to destroy their play house. I Vote for Trump as that is all we have now, unless the stupid out their want more of the same. Like Hundreds of all power corrupt Federal Agencies that have been given the powers to totally rule. I do mean RULE for these scum bag Bureaucrats Have the been given the power to rob you of your money, Steal your property and like 007 the license to kill you if you question or stand up for you rights. Who gave them the power? Your Scum Bag Politicians just so they can keep getting the Payola that greases their palms for these scum would and have sold their own into slavery or worse. Have a good day.
until there is a 2 terms and out set on all government elected post instead of a 50 year position there will be no jobs done right.
Unaffordable, in rebuff to Queen Nancy P…she certainly does not have the unaffordable Obamacare that is forced on others by a government gone amuck…The insurance companies are putting the real perspective on this insanity of communism and we the people want to get this back in the hands of the private sector, using no state lines and making a small but affordable gov insurance with oversight and insurance company participation for those who could be outside the cost factor…..This Unaffordable boondoggle should have been squelched, stomped on and tossed in the trash heap long a go but the court dirtbag politics and the weak kneed representation we pay top much for were scared for their jobs and to damn PC to face the black clown in the WH…They knew it was a crooked deal and still let it pass………….
What’s needed right now is for everyone in this country to drop all of their healthcare providers! What this will do is make Obamacare go belly up! If we stay off of it for just one month, we can take our healthcare back from the government! After all what does it benefit them other than more money in their pockets and less in ours! Then we need to vote Donald Trump into office as President of the US. This will do a lot towards you and the healthcare industry! First it will put money back in your pockets, and two it will make healthcare more affordable by making healthcare just like any other insurance in this country. What is needed is to make it so you can go across state lines to purchase health insurance, and also make it so that when you travel outside your state you will continue to be covered! As it stands right now, you are only covered while you are with in the coverage area! Once you leave that area you have to pay out of pocket. If you really want hope and change, then vote Donald Trump into office, and keep our houses of congress in the control of the Republican Party! If you let Hillary in there, then ” May God have Mercy on your Sole”, as Hillary will sell it to Satan!
It will just end up single payer, as they wanted in the first place and the insurance companies will be no more.
I’ve talked with a few Canadians and I don’t hear any of them complaining about their single payer healthcare system. It’s overall better than here.
Bruce-
I’ve talked with a few Canadians and I don’t hear any of them complaining about their single payer healthcare system.
Those who can afford to – and that’s most of them – simply come here to be treated instead of waiting 6 months or more.
It’s overall better than here.
Apparently, you have not actually spoken with many Canadians…or members of the British Empire, either.
But perhaps you’ll avail yourself of the opportunity and move away to be under the rule of the Queen; you don’t seem to like it here, much.
After watching the ‘heist’ pulled by Wall Street for being ‘too big to fail’, the health insurance industry is merely trying to follow suit. Can you blame them?
Thanks much for enlightening the ignorant Lewis. They want to repeal it all. And just exactly what are they going to replace it with praytel?
Obama himself is the disaster!
Do you have anymore brilliant retort you wish to post????????????
The Un Affordable Care Act (Obama non care) is a disaster. Premiums have gone up. Co-Pay amounts have gone up. And coverage has gone down
