The Obama administration earlier today rejected the Georgia Insurance Commissioner’s emergency request for a 30-day delay in implementing Obamacare.
The commissioner, Ralph Hudgens, sent the delay request after he saw dramatic increases in insurance rates from the seven companies that plan to offer coverage through the new healthcare law’s exchange. Two of the insurance companies pulled out of the exchange yesterday.
Declining to respond to the commissioner’s request, the administration effectively forced Georgia to accept the insurance proposals. “Although not surprised, I am disappointed in the unresponsiveness of the Obama administration,” Hudgens said.
