New York cancer patients are ObamaCare’s latest victims

The New York Post reports:
Add 250 New York cancer patients to the long list of victims of ObamaCare’s lies — just one more snapshot of the program’s ongoing death spiral.

These New Yokers are getting treatment at world-renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center — but their ObamaCare policies are about to vanish, as Health Republic, one of the largest health insurers on New York state’s exchange, and the only one to cover Sloan-Kettering treatment, is shutting down at month’s end after losing $130 million.

The state exchange’s “solution”: It’ll give them an extra two weeks to find a new policy — but it has nothing that will save them from having to change hospitals and medical teams. (It is in talks with the hospital about trying to give them an extra year of coverage there — but with no word on who’ll pay.)

Robert Goldberg, vice president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, warned of the problem two years ago in The Post: ObamaCare’s design screws cancer patients, as well as those with AIDS and other serious conditions.
Obama says everything's better and don't be so down on America!
