Insurers Are Sending Their Customers Misleading Letters

Go ahead conservatives.
Turn 'em loose again.
You've got no alternative.
You want no alternative.

The following belief is the hard, central fact of contemporary "conservatism..." 
There is a clearly-delineated racial and socio-economic threshold above which people deserve a measure of government assistance, and below which people deserve to die.  
And the sooner the better.

"[I]nsurance companies have sent misleading letters to consumers, trying to lock them into the companies' own, sometimes more expensive health insurance plans rather than let them shop for insurance and tax credits on the Obamacare marketplace...[M]entions of the marketplace in those letters are relegated to a mere footnote...The extreme lengths to which some insurance companies are going to hold on to existing customers at higher price, as the Affordable Care Act fundamentally re-orders the individual insurance market, has caught the attention of state insurance regulators." Dylan Scott in Talking Points Memo
