[quote=SD Realtor]Sorry Jazzman, the mantra was very simply stated, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. That was what was very clear. Over and over and over again.
I never said I was lied to because I knew the consequences. However to say that the new law did not deny me choices is incorrect. The new law effectively eliminates the coverage I wanted.
The popular argument about noble intentions, and everyone being dropped by carriers if they had preexisting conditions to justify the elimination of other types of coverage is not sufficient because it presupposes there was no other solutions.
That is incorrect.
Just because you would rather be fed a lie doesn’t mean others would.[/quote]
The law effectively eliminated the cover you wanted because your insurer was legally able to discriminate against you. If you fell ill and they withdrew your cover, would you still think it was the cover you wanted? I think it is a worthwhile compromise to sacrifice elements of cover (if indeed that would happen), to be given a cast iron guarantee of affordable cover come what may.
The argument you hear on the video about the young not subsidizing the program is wishy-washy. Most are smart enough to realize that each generation will look to the next to contribute.
