The rhetoric from King Hussein and Congress is "If you like the health coverage you have, you can keep it."
Page 92 of the current House bill, HR 3962 tells another story. It states, with my comments in parenthases:
"The commissioner shal establish a grace period thereby for plan years beginning after the end of the 5-yeear period beginning with Y1 (2013), an employment based health plan in operation as of the day before the first day of Y1 (2013) must meet the same requirements as apply to a qualified health benefits plan (by the Government) under section 201, including the essential benefit package requirement under section 221."
Translation: In the next few years, you will lose your current helthcare coverage provided by your employer because it will have to change, or be phased out entirely to meet the government guidelines.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being lied to. This is change I simply don't believe in. Obama said himself that he's " an advocate of a single payer, universal healthcare system". That we can't "eliminate employer healthcare coverage immediately", and that he can see a "transition process" to single payer. This is the statist agenda, and Americans need to throw as many of them in congress out as possible in 2010. I don't want a government bureaucrat telling anyone what medicines they can take or surgeries they can have.
[Obamacare Timebomb. (HT Rush Limbaugh):]
Rush Limbaugh was right: Obamacare is a ticking timebomb. This stuff doesn't kick in until 2013 so we have an opportunity to fight this statist monstrosity with everything we've got. (HT National Review via Mark Levin):
National Review: Keep the Coverage You Have . . . But Only for Five Years
