It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:

"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.

Breathtaking.

This can’t be allowed to pass.

It’s really, REALLY frightening.

I just had a huge knock down drag out fight with my goofy liberal sister over this stuff. That is another thing that I blame Obama and the democrats for. They are not ‘governing from the center’..they are racing us into a full blown marxist/communist take-over when they have no mandate to do so. The polls don’t support such a mandate and neither did Obama’s win.

Now sisters are turning against sisters, mothers against sons, fathers against daughters. I really feel like we are heading for a civil war in this country if this insanity is not stopped. I usually blow her off but not this time..I took her down a country road and don’t feel bad about it one bit!

These people are destoying our country!

Thanks for making it even clearer - the devil is in the details.

Actually, the devil is in ALL of this nightmare of a bill. He authored it.
