ATLANTA — As many as 400,000 Georgia residents who buy their own insurance could receive cancellation notices or see their plans modified as a result of the Affordable Care Act, state Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said Wednesday.
Hudgens spokesman Glenn Allen said the figures were based on internal estimates, and there was no way to tell at this point how many of those would have their policies canceled outright. Allen could not say whether those losing their health plan could expect an increase or decrease in premiums under a different plan. Some plans may be grandfathered in under the law.
Lawmakers have raised concerns about the cancellations in addition to problems with the rollout of the government’s health care website. In recent days, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner have been questioned during congressional committee meetings about why so many individuals and businesses have been receiving the cancellation notices.
