” if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you keep your health care plan.”
Trouble with this is if you change jobs, you will not be able to keep your current health care plan unless you are willing to pay the whole premium (100%). And I think Cobra only covers people who become unemployed, And I think it only lasts 18 to 24 months Otherwise the goal is to force you into the government mandated health plan.
If you want to get a new plan, you are stuck.
I haven’t moved from state to state with private healthcare (from an employer or privately paid) but I do know that the coverage and laws vary from state to state so you may not even be able to MOVE and keep your insurance even if you stay with the same employer.
The end goal is to get you off your current plan. Even if that takes 10-20 years.
Jimmy,
Make sure to read that Wall St. Journal article I refer to.
It can’t be more clear: it repeals the Erisa act under which most businesses that provide health insurance provide their care.
