Pre existing government insurance plan turns away those with pre existing conditions...

because it ran out of money!

An early ObamaCare health insurance program that has been operating for nearly three years is foreshadowing big problems to come with the larger health overhaul law.

The law allocated $5 billion for a program to help uninsured people with pre-existing conditions get insurance. It was designed to provide temporary bridge coverage until the health law takes full effect in 2014.

But this temporary Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan is running out of money, and the Obama administration has closed enrollment to any new applicants, saying it needs the money that is left to cover the medical costs of the 100,000 people already enrolled through the end of the year.

I thought one of the the comprehensive plan's main goals was to get those with per-existing conditions coverage?

and even when the government plan's administrators acted like big insurance and cut benefits and coverage..

The Administration had already tried cost-cutting measures: It raised the maximum a patient would have to pay out of pocket from $4,000 to $6,250 a year, cut what it pays providers, and limited the number of pharmacies that can dispense specialty drugs through the program. It didn’t work.

is this one of those I told ya so moments?
