Cancer survivor blames Obamacare for loss of coverage
Edie Littlefield Sundby, a stage four cancer survivor says the president's signature legislation cost her health care.
You Also Can't Keep Your Doctor
President Obama, meanwhile, defended his reforms yet again, saying: "Insurers in the marketplace can no longer use your medical history to charge you more. You got a preexisting condition, they've got to take it. Folks who have been sick have finally the same chance to buy quality, affordable health care as everybody else."
Obama administration officials actually expressed concern just one week ago in a private war room meeting that consumers would be disappointed by sticker shock and limited choices once they were finally able to get on the troubled Obamacare website.

Everyone is talking about Sundby and the bombshell OpEd in the Wall Street Journal she wrote about Obamacare ending her coverage.
OutFront: Edie Littlefield Sundby.
Ms. Sundby stated that she was diagnosed 8 years ago but has only had her policy with United Healthcare for 7 years – I would like to know how that is possible. How did you she obtain what appears to be a platinum plus individual policy from an insurance provider when she had a pre-existing cancer condition? And how much has that individual policy increased in cost over the past 7 years?
Her insurance was with United Health Care, they cancelled it because they were not making money on these types of policies. I wonder who was her employer when she was under United, it does make a difference.
