KNBC-CA: Californians Getting Dropped From Existing Health Plans Due to ObamaCare

Some Californians Being Dropped by Health Insurance Companies (KNBC-CA)

While the Affordable Care Act could provide health insurance for millions of Californians, some are being dropped from their current plans -- and when they try to sign up for new ones, they're learning the cost may be significantly higher.

This is happening to thousands of Californians who have individual policies because some of the current plans with low benefits and high deductibles won't be allowed under the new law.  It technically means more complete health insurance, but many say they cannot afford it.

Cindy Georghiou owns Jacqua Bath and Body, a small beauty products business in Oxnard.  She had health insurance and never thought Obamacare would apply to her, until she received a letter.

"All it basically said is as of January first we’ll no longer cover you," Georghiou said.
