More Liberals Taste The Sting Of ObamaCrapCare

 Most artists are liberals. As such many of them voted for Obama and now they are feeling the pain caused by ObamaCrapCare.  As we continue to learn daily, this catastrophic act will destroy the health insurance (flawed as it was) industry and the coverages itself. Most Americans will lose their insurance, will feel the pain of much higher premiums and in the end, will want to return to the flawed system of the past!

Artists Losing Healthcare Insurance Under Obamacare
Artists, photographers, writers, and other members of the "creative class" who have access to health insurance through many professional organizations will lose that coverage when Obamacare is implemented.
Professional organizations have offered reduced-rate insurance plans for their members, through insurance providers.
"But thanks to the fine print in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on January 1, 2014, many of these plans will fail to pass legal muster," The Weekly Standard reported.
One professional organization, the College Art Association — a 13,000-member group for practitioners and scholars in art, art history, and art criticism — posted this notice on its website: "The New York Life Insurance Company recently informed CAA that it will no longer offer catastrophic healthcare coverage previously available to CAA members."
The notice disclosed that it "is no longer an option" for "associations whose members reside in different states" to provide coverage.
Instead, members will have to seek coverage from their home state's new Obamacare exchanges.
The Entertainment Industry Group Insurance Trust's website stated: "All individual and/or Sole Proprietor Health Insurance will terminate January 1, 2014. This includes plans acquired as members of our Affiliated Associations and their groups."
Those associations include the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the Dramatists Guild, the Graphic Arts Guild, NY Women in Film and Television, and others.
In most cases, freelance artists, designers, and musicians forced to enter the state-run exchanges will see their insurance premiums rise, according to The Weekly Standard.
Ironically, Nancy Pelosi back in 2010 touted the benefits of Obamacare this way: "Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance."
The Weekly Standard notes: "Pelosi's vision of a world full of carefree artists, musicians, and writers is a mirage and becoming fainter the closer we get to January 1."
