The Obama administration will resist this, tooth and nail.
The exchanges will collapse unless they can force the healthy and higher-incoming people into their exchanges.
Guess who sees sticker shock in Obamacare? The healthy and higher-income (ie, those who will get no subsidies).
The exchanges will collapse if all they have are the high-cost people on the plans, the people with pre-existing conditions, the people who can’t pay the premium and need a subsidy, the 1 to 5% who consume at least half of all medical services. Obama’s minions know this. They’re already in a tizzy that young people are not signing up - because the young people are needed to pay for the older people’s consumption of medical services.
The Obama administration will resist this, tooth and nail.
The House will pass it and send it on to the Senate. Which of these 12 democrats up for re-election in 2014 will not support it?
Mark Begich of Alaska / Richard Durbin of Illinois / Al Franken of Minnesota / Kay Hagan of North Carolina / Mary Landrieu of Louisiana / Jeff Merkley of Oregon / Mark Pryor of Arkansas / Jack Reed of Rhode Island / Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire / Mark Udall of Colorado / Tom Udall of New Mexico / Mark Warner of Virginia

Democrats want companies to drop coverage of their employees. But they want it to look like the companies are at fault. Kind of like the game Obama played with insurance companies... That way it doesn't look like democrats are behind it... and corporations can be blamed.
Dems will make a case (privately) that companies will save money - and in the short run they will. In the long run they'll be run over ... just like the insurance companies.
