"You can keep your health care plan" = REPEAL.

not going to happen.

you really think insurance companies are going to keep these plans? don't be silly.
why would they sell you something for $50 if they can get $100?

They have to get the $100 because the government will force them to cover people who will never pay. Or else they go out of business, which is also OK with the government so they can push socialized medicine, incorrectly referred to as "single payer".

one, people have gotten care for years that couldn't pay. any of us with insurance has been paying huge bills for years to cover those without ability to pay.
health insurers won't get pushed out of business. who do you think included all these rules about coverages, so as to pay for those who will use their insurance?

and, please, do tell how single payer equals socialized equals bad? i can't wait for that.

and i guess the interstate highway system is socialized? we all paid, and we don't all use them.

My company switched to Kaiser about a year ago. hope i get to keep it next year.

it's tough in a way, aly.
some people would actually be better off if their company dropped their coverage! how?
because if you're eligible for group, you must buy group.
but if you're not, you go thru an exchange, and could get subsidies. you can't get subsidies if you go thru your employer. so, there will be people who will actually want their company to end coverage, because if they are a person with a family, they'd be better off that way.
it's crazy.
