When Obamacare was first imposed on the American public, it was touted as a plan that would make quality healthcare available to everyone. The reality has proven to be another story …

Take for instance the case of Cindy Jacobson, a Houston woman being treated for renal cell carcinoma. Her cancer is currently in remission, but she must still undergo expensive scans and other treatments as part of her recovery.

Cindy’s treatment and recovery has been managed by the team of doctors and surgeons at Houston’s MD Anderson Hospital – a facility world famous for its cancer treatment programs.

The problem is that Cindy has just been informed that her individual health plan will no longer cover her treatment at MD Anderson, because beginning January, MD Anderson will no longer be within her coverage network.

“I don’t sleep, I don’t eat, I just keep looking for answers, ” she said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” she continued, as reported by Click2Houston.

Jacobson is a business owner who purchased an individual PPO plan.

When insurance companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield begin dropping PPO plans, it impacts people like Cindy Jacobson in a major way. Now she’ll either be forced to find another doctor, or somehow come up with the extra money it will cost to continue her treatments at MD Anderson.

Another business owner facing the loss of individual PPO coverage at MD Anderson, is Sara Speer Selber, who said: “I want access in my backyard to MD Anderson. I want to be treated no differently than someone who works for a corporation, I pay my taxes the same way.”

After Jacobson and Selber told their story to Channel 2 in Houston, Blue Cross Blue Shield responded by sending the station a letter which stated:

“To be clear, only individual PPO plans will be discontinued at the end of 2015. It is extremely important to note that our PPO members will not be impacted if they have a grandfathered policy or if they obtained their policy through their employer.”
