"Those ten essential benefits is what makes it to expensive for me to buy an individual plan. I have no need for maternity or pediatric care, nor do I foresee needing drug rehab."

Now I am really getting confused as to what this HCA is going to be. I thought the purpose of being able to buy across state lines is you WOULD have a choice to pick whatever insurance company has or doesn't have the benefits you want or don't want. If they are saying whatever insurance you pick has to have all these benefits in it then we are still at government run health care.

Maybe this is one of the points being negotiated today???

Obamacare required all insurance plans to offer those things, no matter what state. I think the conservatives are pushing to get this new bill to change it.
