The employee then has a choice between making up the difference himself, or getting a health plan with a bigger deductible and more exclusions.

Yep. “More choice” means a return to junk plans that are affordable but don’t cover anything.

Just as we’re seeing with the short-term plans now being offered.

During the financial crisis I thought I better look into health insurance in case I got terminated. My options at the time were to buy COBRA coverage which was close to $800 a month. I was a healthy 50 year old and didn't need the Cadillac coverage. If I would have been let go, I would have purchased one of those junk plans for around $200 a month until I found a job..

"More choice" means I stop being compelled to subsidize your health plan.
