Why won’t insurance companies say ‘Hold on just a minute’?

1. Because they don’t know how? 2. Because they bought into the ACA? 3. Because they might lose control of billions of dollars?

OK.

What we have so far:

• Employers will be mandated to buy your policies for 2014
• (Oops, employers are angry)
• Employers won’t be mandated until 2015 – if then
• Small employers will give workers a choice of health plans through the SHOP program in 2014
• (Oops, we can’t get the web site ready in time)
• Small employers won’t have to offer a choice of plan until – sometime later
• You must cancel these individual policies
• (Oops, public backlash)
• You must reinstate these policies
• (Oops, many insurance commissioners won’t allow it)
• You must continue to cover providers and drugs even for cancelled policies
• The deadline for enrollment will be December 15, 2013
• (Oops, web site problems)
• The deadline for enrollment will be December 23, 2013
• (Oops, too much traffic)
• The deadline for enrollment will be December 24, 2013
• Never mind, there is no deadline
• First month’s premium must be received by December 31, 2013
• (Oops, back-end problems with the web site)
• First month’s premium must be received by January 8, 2014
• Make that January 10, 2014

(“insurance companies” rather than “the insurance industry,” because “industry” is Progressive code for “Sucking up all the middle class family’s money.”)
