Of course nothing was done about this earlier - now they're trying to bandage this unraveling mess and "fix" things, stretching its implementation over years (to hide truth of what this is) and continuing all the chaos and uncertainty it brings as it drags the economy and the country into the toilet.

I wonder what kind of a choice HE makes?? I’ll bet he’s got a Cadillac plan; if this is such a wonderful piece of legislation why does Obama keep arbitrarily delaying part after part of it until after the election??

choice was promised...keeping my doctor was promised.

whether or not it is ‘overrated’ is a ploy to hide the regime’s lies.....

The title says it all. Progressives always think choice is overrated.

IN other words:

1. We need more and more data; which we are going to use to micro-manage every aspect of healthcare.

2. We need to be able to dictate to the current and aspiring physicians what field of study or specialization they are going to go into.

3. We need a means of getting around our own rules so as to avoid any more ‘unfortunate’ public relations disasters.

4. Soon we will have the power to tell all of you to ‘shut up and eat your peas’ and to tell you that your time here on earth is at an end.

Let's add several more layers to the buearacracy, that'll fix it for sure.

This is just another great example that Liberalism/ Progressivism is a mental disease.

I like how he says “we” need more transparency, but hen goes on to describe how insurance companies need to be forced to provide more information.

They promise quality by dictating standards for the product, a true “central planning” way of thinking.

What you get with this is, if the product providers are capable of producing those standards, something that is a cap on what will be provided. No one will offer better or more or more flexible offerings, because there is no competitive advantage to doing so.

Proving once again that Democrats are only pro-choice about who you sleep with and whether or not you have an abortion.
