SK the last line of what you said is the administrations cowbell.

“What is different now, is that everyone who loses employer sponsored coverage will have more and better access to continued coverage.”

The issue that I have is the complete elimination of what the administration calls substandard plans. You may argue they are not eliminated however the if they change a single iota then they will be eliminated. So in reality they are eliminated because the nature of policies are that they are fluid and change annually. The administration knew it 3 years ago and to blame insurance companies for cancelling the policies and label policies that are less comprehensive “substandard” is pretty lame.

Why should any plans be considered substandard?

Why do I have to be told I will be given something better when what I had worked fine for me? I don’t want something different, or better. I don’t need to be told what is better and what is worse because I can differentiate and make my own decision.

So what should really be said is that you will have access to more comprehensive coverage that will be more expensive and you will not be able to purchase plans that were less comprehensive and less expensive.

All I ask is that the administration and those towing the line for it say things like they really are.
