I guess perhaps I should have been a little more clear in my earlier response. Sure, we can get rid of Ocare. Getting rid of it would not be the issue. The issue would be what happens when it’s gone. We won’t just go back to what we had before. As it happens, I work in the industry. We have looked at all angles 2, 3 and 4 times. We’ve run the models, we’ve tested the hypothesis, we’ve attempted to plan for many different eventualities. This is why I asked someone previously what THEY thought the consequences would be. Yes, we could get rid of Ocare in a heartbeat, and we should. But make no mistake, the result will be to entirely devastate the insurance industry and send us right to single payer. Again, single payer has always been the goal. Insurance companies spent millions of $$$ and several years preparing for Ocare. It doesn’t just go back to normal overnight. There will be many, many unintended consequences. That’s not to say that I don’t want to get rid of it. I’d like to see it gone, despite the fact that’ll mean I’ll likely end up out of a job, but that’s ok. I depend on ahigher power and I know I’ll fiind other employment.

From out of ashes, companies will materialize, whose directors will offer policies, with guidelines as to what they will cover, and how much the premiums will be. Other companies will offer more or less coverage, and corresponding premiums. Hospitals will offer healthcare, from hangnail to brain surgery. Consumers will decide where they want to go, and how much they are willing to, or can afford, to pay for various procedures.

Insurance companies will need employees, lots of them, they will be busy and looking for experienced workers. That is where you would present yourself, as an experienced worker, and worth every penny.
