Sixty-six thousand Tenneseeans are about to be informed by their insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, that theyโll need to switch plans because of Obamacareโs minimum-coverage mandates. The remainder of the companyโs 106,000 policies in the state were grandfathered in.
Roy Vaughn, a vice president at the company, said that the letters arenโt exactly cancellations; theyโre meant to help consumers choose a replacement plan without having a lapse in coverage.
โNobody is getting turned away,โ he told the Tennessean. โNo one is getting canceled.โ
The news from Tennessee is just the latest in a wave of millions of Americansโ discovering that their policies do not meet Obamacareโs standards and will be discontinued.
