As Northwell Health Shuts Down CareConnect, Those Seeking Answers Go to Leading Obamacare Expert Jason Samel
Amid Continued Uncertainty Regarding the Affordable Care Act, One of New York's Last Obamacare Brokers Seeks to Help the Public Amid NY Heal

August, 2017 (Long Island, NY) -- With Northwell Health’s recent decision to shut down its insurer CareConnect, many Long Islanders have been left uncertain as to their future. The Northwell subsidiary, which has 126,000 policyholders with more than half of them on the island has stated that these people will still be covered as they’re transferred to new providers. Jason Samel, New York’s leading ACA expert is concerned for what this combined with the confusion of Obamacare’s current political climate could mean for the community, and is determined to provide those seeking help navigating these changes with informational fact based solutions.
Licensed insurance consultant and premiere Obamacare expert Jason Samel, President of JayMar Insurance and founder of NewYorkObamacare.com, said in a recent article in Long Island Business News that the decision to close the insurer is going to have a big impact on the state’s and Long Island’s insurance market. “With over 100,000 enrollees, CareConnect’s exit from the marketplace is going to create havoc for consumers, businesses, and brokers much the same way the shutdown of Health Republic did in the past,” he said. Samel called this “an unfortunate pitfall of the Russian roulette” that he said President Donald Trump and the Republican party “have been playing with our healthcare system.”
While all eyes have been focused on repeal and replace Samel has been focusing on how the CareConnect closure combined with Obamacare’s political uncertainty will affect the people. As a New York State licensed Insurance Broker, Consultant and founder of NewYorkObamacare.com, Jason Samel can passionately speak to the immediate and foreseeable local and widespread consequences in sharp and concise sound bites.
