A Virginia based health insurance company is closing its doors because of ObamaCare. It’s that simple:
The firm, nHealth, appears to be the first to claim that the new law has driven it out of business. “We don’t know what the rules are going to be, and, as a start-up, our investors need certainty,” nHealth CEO and President Paul Kitchen told POLITICO.
“The law created so much uncertainty that is beyond our control.”
Last week, in a letter to the company’s 50 or so employees, Executive Vice President James Slabaugh said nHealth has stopped accepting new group customers and will terminate all business by Dec. 31.
“The uncertainties in the regulatory climate coupled with new demands imposed by national health care reforms have made it challenging to sustain the level of sales required to remain viable over the long run,” Slabaugh wrote.
I would like to write that the conservatives said this was going to happen, but the fact is, we weren’t the only ones. The socialists who were most ardent about ObamaCare passing knew this would be the end result.
One less health insurance company in the world, and the left cheers.
A quick question for President Obama: If the customers of nHealth like their health care, do they get to keep it under your health care reform?
