Obama’s Health Law Fix

President Barack Obama recently announced a one-year reprieve for Americans facing cancelled insurance coverage under his healthcare law. “I completely get how upsetting this can be for a lot of Americans… To those Americans, I hear you loud and clear.” Says Obama in response to the angry Americans who raised their concerns of the rollout. The white house announced that there were about one million Americans who successfully registered on the health care but were either unqualified for a health care plan or did not find a plan that was suited for them. Another problem has been individual Americans who received letters from their insurers that they may be loosing their old plans because they no longer meet the law’s requirements for basic benefits prescriptions drugs. In Obama’s attempt to make the health plan more affordable for all Americans, he announced to make an extension of the Grandfather Clause for both the people who’s plans have changed since the law took effect, and people who bought the plans since the laws took effect. Insurers can extend current plans that would otherwise be cancelled into 2014 and Americans whos plans have been cancelled can choose to re-enrol in the same kind of plan.
