Obamacare Exchanges Offering ‘Junk’ Policies With Limited Choices

Many of the policies being offered through the Obamacare health insurance exchanges are super cheap because they offer a very limited number of healthcare providers.
Major insurance companies deliberately created what Consumer Reports called “junk health insurance policies” to sell through the exchanges, articles in both The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times show. These policies will not pay for healthcare at many major hospitals and will only cover services offered by a limited number of doctors.
“Our exchange products will have smaller provider networks that cost less than bigger plans with a larger selection of doctors and hospitals,” David Sandor, a vice president of Health Care Service Corporation (a Blue Cross and Blue Shield provider) admitted to The New York Times.
Chad Terhune of The Los Angeles Times wrote, “Consumers could see long wait times, a scarcity of specialists and loss of a longtime doctor.”
