State: Cancelled Health Insurance Policies Can Be Renewed

Maryland's insurance commissioner says individual policies that don't comply with the federal health care overhaul can be extended through the end of next year.

Insurance Commissioner Therese Goldsmith said in a memo to insurers Tuesday that they can renew such policies for 2014 as long as the renewals take effect before January 1.

However, Maryland law does not currently allow such policies to be renewed after January 1 or to extend into 2015. President Barack Obama announced last week that canceled policies can be extended for one year, which means that individuals can keep their coverage into 2015 if states allow it.

First, don't believe anything Anthony Brown says. He is in bed with O'Malley and Obama. All liars!

This is much blabber over nothing. Almost ANY health policy in Maryland can be renewed for another 12 months as long as it is done by December 31st. What they don't tell you is that your deductible will be reset to zero when you renew and any amount you have already paid to meet your deductible will be lost.

Wait, I thought Congress passed a LAW. Did Congress initiate an amendment to that LAW?

You Democrats own this law, and now you have to EAT it! How's tonight's dinner looking?
