(NaturalNews) One of the elements of Obamacare critics
have been most vocal about is the so-called government-sponsored
"insurance pools" the law creates. Now that it's largely been upheld by
the U.S. Supreme Court, these pools will soon become a reality.
So what? That's the basis of the law, to provide insurance for everyone, correct?
Yes, but not necessarily the type of insurance you want. Or that you have now, say, through your employer.
One
of the law's selling points uttered by everyone in the administration
paid to defend it, especially the president himself, promised Americans
they could keep their current health insurance.
In
his Weekly Address on August 15, 2009, Obama said of his health care
proposal, "First, no matter what you've heard, if you like your doctor
or healthcare plan, you can keep it."
That
was then. By July 2012, the administration was singing a different
tune, admitting that, "as a practical matter, a majority of group health
plans will lose their grandfather status by 2013."
That includes, of course, that employer plan you love so much.
Wait - Weren't you supposed to be able to keep employer insurance?
The
Federal Register, dated Thursday, June 17, 2010, notes that the
"mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45
percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status
by the end of 2013."
