ObamaCare: House Bill Now Says You Can NOT Keep Your Private Insurance
Email This Post
Remember that whole line about how “if you like your current health insurance program then you can keep it”? Well it was a lie. Shocka !!
The current version of the ObamaCare House bill says that you will be forced out of your private insurance plan within 5 years (or less) and into a government selected plan:
Two main bills are being rushed through Congress with the goal of combining them into a finished product by August. Under either, a new government bureaucracy will select health plans that it considers in your best interest, and you will have to enroll in one of these “qualified plans.” If you now get your plan through work, your employer has a five-year “grace period” to switch you into a qualified plan. If you buy your own insurance, you’ll have less time.
But wait, it gets worse. Remember how your premiums go up each year with your private insurance? If that happens, and it will, you will be automatically and immediately forced out of your private plan and into the government’s selected plan for you. Forced.
And as soon as anything changes in your contract — such as a change in copays or deductibles, which many insurers change every year — you’ll have to move into a qualified plan instead (House bill, p. 16-17).
Once you’re forced into the ObamaCare plan you’ll have to pay whatever the cost is no matter how high it goes. You’ll have no choice:
A family of four is eligible for some government assistance until their household income reaches $88,000 (House bill, p. 137). If you earn more than that, you’ll have to pay the cost no matter how high it goes.
So the promise from Obama that you’ll be able to keep your current insurance is a lie. Under the current plan being sent through the House you’ll have to change into the government selected health care program and then pay whatever it costs, no matter how high the price is.
Read the full analysis here at NYPost including direct citations of where in the House bill you can find these problems. This is not speculation, this is fact.
Be sure to watch PJTV’s investigative report on Canada’s health care system which the current administration is touting as a model example. I’ll give you a hint how it goes: disastrously.

From Dick Morris: Seeing his popularity draining away rapidly, President Obama has cynically decided to ram through the complex health care legislation in two weeks, without debate or amendment. He is going to give up the attempt to win sixty votes in the Senate and will use the budget reconciliation procedure – which is only used for budget bills – to push it through with fifty votes…

I think it’s GREAT!
I make far less than $88K a year, even with my wife Beatrice’s payroll check. Try living on what WE make & you’ll draw up your hambstring I can tell you! The ones that don’t like Obama’s plan are the what we call the white collar workers, or the self-employed rude rats that think they are Gods gift to mankind. HOORAAAY OBAMA!!! May you rein supreme thru {2} terms!

@ Cleo: I hope you and Beatrice aren’t planning on growing old, or become disabled. Because if you do…your “choice” will be a quick death by needle, or a slow one because you will be denied basic health care. You will be among the “expendable.” Good luck!

I think not. It couldn’t be worse than it is now! I went to see a Doctor i had a chest cold. He said, you have a viral chest infection cold. I asked, well, what can you do for me to get better? & he said nothing, absolutely nothing! That “nothing” cost me my deductable plus $150.00 They all get paid if they help you or not! i did get cured, not by his advise but by taking Herbs. Our natural defence against sickness. So, with Obamas plan, the way I see it, lets see what happens! What do we have to loose? Absolutely nothing!

@ Cleo- you can kiss your herbal and natural cures goodbye under Obamacare. The U.N.’s Codex Ailmentus is on it’s way to passage, and it will outlaw all of these kinds of natural treatments. Additionally, the farm bill Obama wants to pass (authored by Monsanto) will effectively kill off organic farmers, so good luck getting any natural products. You need to see the big picture- that we will not only be subjected to our own country’s laws, but laws made in Global parliaments like the U.N. I think it’s time you put down the Koolaid.
