When this “health care for all” crap passes, right now the legislation states that it will be illegal to sell private policies over the date of passage.

No it doesn't.

It also says that HSA’s will no longer be allowed.

No it doesn't. (They probably won't be viable in a few years, but that's different.)

That means that my current policy will no longer be allowed and neither I nor my employer will be allowed to privately purchase an alternative.

No it doesn't. Do you like your current HDHP with the HSA? Do you feel there's no better alternative? Because I hate my HDHP and HSA. I have a $10K family deductible. In other words, I pay a lot of money to end up paying a lot of money unless one of us gets really really sick or really really hurt. These plans suck.

Regardless, no is making HSA's illegal, they're making them too stupid to push on the marketplace. With a max DED of $11k-something and the MLR's changing, the rates will have to rise to a point of stupidity.

As for your dire claim that your employer won't "be allowed" to purchase private insurance, I don't think we'll every see that day in America. Maybe quasi-private (like how private insurers proces Medicare) and the free market will always allow for those who can afford great coverage to get it through private insurers. I'm 100% confident of that.

Did you read where it said that was at a point in time while the legislation was only being discussed? Yes, many of the details of the actual legislation changed. My sentiment did not!
