If you currently have medical insurance through your company, DO NOT DROP IT. I have extensive personal and work experience with issues involving health insurance, government programs, etc. and I strongly believe that Obamacare is just a massive redistribution scheme that will never give good benefits to the people actually paying for it. I personally would never leave myself and my family at the mercy of Obamacare because I have seen how people who work for a living are denied benefits, while the indolent get free medical care at the best hospitals and don't even have to worry about their credit ratings because the hospitals don't bother to bill people whose profile is deadbeat, illegal, etc.

Every year, at whichever company I am working, I choose the most expensive health plan and I'll continue to do so until my company caves to Obamacare and doesn't offer insurance anymore. When that day comes, I'll pay what I have to to have supplemental medical insurance so that I am not dependent on the government.

I agree with your comments, but would add that people should NOT be dropping their employer group health insurance at this time, due to we do not want to encourages employers to drop their plans. If there was a tidal wave of people opting out of participation, the employers would be more encouraged to drop their plans. In spite of the woes of 0bamacare, etc., it is prudent for people to keep their employer group coverage as long as possible.

I personally would never leave myself and my family at the mercy of Obamacare because I have seen how well BIA health care works.

Check into carrying catastrophic care and bank what else you would have paid in so you have it if you need it to cover deductibles and co-pays.

Will supplemental health insurance even be available?
