UNEXPECTEDLY! New Yorkers Face Hard Decisions After Collapse of Health Republic Insurance. "If anyone could manage to obtain treatment under the Affordable Care Act, it should have been Liz Jackson. With a severe nerve condition that forced her out of a job, Ms. Jackson did not just qualify for a government-subsidized plan, but she also knew her way around the new system, having been trained as a volunteer ‘health care navigator' to help others sign up. Yet the collapse of her insurer, Health Republic Insurance of New York ‐ the largest of 12 health care co-ops nationwide set to close this year ‐ has left her and more than 200,000 others in a panic over medical coverage after their plan ceases on Nov. 30."
Plus: "'I'm an advocate for the health care law,' said Ms. Jackson, who lives in Harlem. ‘And if I can't navigate this, who can?'"
It's as if the whole ObamaCare thing was just a politicized Potemkin village.
