CBS: Some Obamacare Users in Tennessee ‘Really Nervous’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

CBS spotlighted on Tuesday the worries that some Americans have about the Affordable Care Act, interviewing a Tennessee family that will lose its health insurance plan on Jan. 1 unless it pays more for another plan.

While open enrollment for Obamacare begins Tuesday, CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell said consumers could face significant rate hikes on their premiums and that there will be fewer options in some states.

CBS correspondent Margaret Brennan interviewed Eric Jans, an insurance broker who lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and two young children. Brennan said that the Jans family was living comfortably until health insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield pulled out of the Obamacare exchange market. Most of Jans’ 300 clients were covered by Blue Cross.
