How Obamacare Left Joe Cato With No Options
Last summer, when his chronic back pain became unmanageable, Joe was insured by Aetna, which worked with him to diagnose the problem. Aetna paid for CT scans, an MRI, nine spinal injections, visits to the emergency room, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and massage specialists. But last July Joe received a letter from Aetna saying it would be exiting the individual market at the end of the year. Given the company’s financial losses, there was no way for them to stay in the exchange.
Millions Are Bearing The Brunt Of Obamacare
Joe’s story illustrates in a microcosm what’s been happening all over the country. Obamacare sought to transform the individual health insurance market by making two major changes: 1) forcing everyone to purchase coverage—the individual mandate provision—and 2) forcing insurance companies to cover everyone, even those with preexisting conditions. The idea was that the young and healthy would sign up, and their premiums would pay for the cost of older and sicker people, whose premiums wouldn’t actually cover the cost of their care.
