These numbers are abysmal; the administration has not met even 25 percent of its enrollment goal for the first month.” “This law is badly broken, and I am deeply concerned about the impact this law is having on Kansans back home. We are six weeks in, and folks in my district are being faced with cancellation notices, and cannot find affordable, alternative plans like the president promised. “While only a few hundred Kansans have successfully signed up for insurance, one provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, recently announced they are being forced to cancel insurance plans for nearly 9,500 customers, due to the new ObamaCare requirements. A 25:1 ratio of lost to gained insurance plans is indefensible. These numbers underscore the need for President Obama to join the bipartisan call for the administration to allow Americans to keep their current health care plans.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
