Insurance cancellations irk consumers as Obamacare sets in (MyFox9)

Minnesotans are starting to feel the effects of the Affordable Care Act, and some who were perfectly happy with their coverage are now finding out their policies are coming to an end and they may have to pay more.

If a plan doesn't cover things mandated by the law, such as emergency visits, maternity care, or mental health treatment, it may be discontinued. Although the new insurance products may offer better coverage, they may also come with a bigger price tag -- and those who don't need the additional coverage say the required change seems like a broken promise from the president.

"If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, period," President Barack Obama said when pitching health care reform.

Larry Walburn's auto body shop is nestled in the rolling hills of rural Rice County. Break something, and he'll fix it -- but he believes Obamacare is beyond repair.
