So, there’s this:

Obamacare: More than 2 million people getting booted from existing health insurance plans

CBS News has learned more than two million Americans have been told they cannot renew their current insurance policies — more than triple the number of people said to be buying insurance under the new Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

Huh. A few months back I got a letter from *my* health insurance company telling me that, lo and behold, come January 1 my current policy would evaporate, but have no fear, Obamacare was here. Well, according to healthcare.gov, there are 43 policies available for a schmuck like me in Utah. Woo. But I took the list to my doctor: of the 43, 42 *will* *not* be taken there. One *might* be, they’re not sure. So, I’m losing my insurance, and quite possibly my doctor as well. Having driven ten rural miles with a 104 degree fever to get to my doc, I can assure you that having to drive three or four times farther at 80 miles per hour the next time I get bronchitis, pneumonia or the fricken plague will *not* be fun. If that happens and due to delirium I cause a car wreck, I hereby give permission to survivors to sue the bejeebers out of whatever political hack supported this nonsense.

Hmmm. His lips moved.
