“Under Obamacare, I’d be dead.”

Most exchange plans exclude the academic medical centers cancer patients look to when their local hospital runs out of answers. Dr. Katherine Albrecht, who lives in Nashua, N. H., developed stage 3c breast cancer that spread to her lymph nodes in 2011. Her local hospital told her to get her affairs in order. But her Anthem PPO health insurance allowed her to go to Dana-Farber Cancer Center in Boston, where she was successfully treated, and afterward, to Weill Cornell Breast Center.

Late in 2013, Albrecht’s insurance was canceled because it didn’t include Obamacare mandates, such as maternity coverage. But Obamacare-compliant policies in New Hampshire won’t cover care at 10 of the 26 hospitals in the state, and none outside the state. Albrecht says, “Under Obamacare, I’d be dead.”

Recently, the president urged Organizing for Action volunteers to enroll as many people as possible in Obamacare before the March 31 deadline. He called it “God’s work.” Really? Maybe helping the uninsured is God’s work. But not convincing people with health problems to move into plans that won’t provide the care they need to stay alive. In the private sector, this would be fraud. It takes politics to a new low.
