    New York, Feb. 12, 2014: This site is conveying propaganda. I bought health insurance through the New York Health Exchange. I am getting nothing but nightmare. I called everybody in the country, except for the White House, but got no help. I left a message for the chief of staff of the U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, but never heard from her. Since October I have made hundreds of calls for help. But no one came to my rescue. Oxford Health Plans canceled my policy, saying New York state barred it from continuing my insurance because of Obamacare. Finally, I managed to buy a policy from Healthcare Republic of New York effective Feb. 1. Today, I got a call from my mail order pharmacy, which told me I have to pay $666.87 for a box Humalog 75/25 Kwikpen insulin that I used buy through my previous insurance for a $20 co-pay. This medicine will cover me for only one month. I called the manufacturer, Ely Lilly, but got no help. I called around the country, but no one offered to sell this medicine for less than $350. I called Canada, where I can buy the same medicine for $76, but the FDA won’t allow import. The FDA should change its policy; Canadian medicine is perfectly safe for Americans. The FDA policy is to squeeze patients to benefit drug companies. If Canada can sell medicine for less, America can, too.

      You are right BZ. The whole thing is a sham and a disgrace. How many of these enrollees have paid and received coverage with an ID card? How many have lost their doctors as a result? Most of the enrollees don’t even know what they have for coverage and how benefits have been decreased or what their deductibles are or how much their out of pocket expense is.
