The president promised the American people that if they liked their current plan, they would be able to keep it. It's clear HHS did not get the memo or, more likely, that promise, like many others, will be broken in order to get the top-down government-run health care plan into place.

Its simply a case of thieving socialists smelling somebody else’s money,and planning to steal it.

If it becomes law? It already is.

He LIED about Obamacare not being a tax and he LIED when he said ‘people can keep their health care plans’. LIES, LIES, LIES.. But at least he didn’t say ‘read my lips, no new taxes’. The media won’t ever let us forget THAT one.

[Mr. K]

who wrote this POS law? Obambi showed up with it in-hand 100% complete

3000 pages of it

It is being opposed with great force and clarity by the GOP through their series of well-placed advertisements. /sarc

[GreyFriar]

And again, a cabinet given the power to enact regulations with the force of law by “law makers” unwilling to do the job they were elected to do and swore an oath to do. But they prefer to pass a bill they didn’t read and let bureauocrats make regulations, thus insulating themselves from the hard work and the responsibility for their actions.

Yeah, I caught that in the Center for Health Transformation wall chart PDF that's floating around.

Here's a snip with comments from the article...

There is some misinformation on this blog.

My brother works for Blue Cross/Blue Shield

1.)HSA's are not being eliminated..only the very high deductible ones such as $10,12 and 15K deductibles. BC/BS is actually going to pushing HSA plans greater in the years to come. Also the people with the older high deductible plans are being grandfathered.

2.) The Medical Loss Ratio is actually a great thing for individuals and consumers. Has NOTHING to do with HSA's.

What the MLR say's is the insurance co's must spend at least 85% of every premium dollar on claims. Up to recent they could spend 25 cents on every premium dollar on claims and spend the rest of salaries and staff and lavious trips.

As a matter of fact, BC/BS is sending back in the next several weeks hundreds of millions of dollars in rebate checks to their policy holders because they spent less than 85 cents on claims for 2011.

.There are some thing that are good in obamacare such as the MLR and the Republicans need to push those good aspects in a totally new bill.

Saving for your own healthcare is not a trait that you’ll find in liberals, so Obama doesn’t have to worry about ticking off his loyal supporters with this one. The same thinking will soon apply to our retirement savings accounts.

I guess my family is SOL.

The man showed week one he wasn’t going to be MY president.

Indeed; I think Romney's 'promise' to repeal/roll-back obamacare is much the same.

I thought that any balance in the HSA was going to be transferred automatically to the government for premium payment.
