You Can Keep Your Private Insurance ... Or Maybe Not!

According to President Hopenchange, “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.” But it appears that the healthcare bill does just that.

On page 16 of the bill, "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”. In other words, you can only keep what you got if on a private insurance plan. You cannot modify it, you cannot change to another plan, and if you leave one employer to work for another say goodbye to your private insurance and hello to the government option.

Articles relating to this are at Investor’s Business Daily, ABC, Heritage Foundation along with many others.
