This bill is less about what it gives and more about what it takes away. Can they convince 155 million people to give up their employer-sponsored insurance for a government option?
- pjc50 8y agoThat's not what's happening though; it's the providers who have to pick one or the other, not the public. Again, this sounds a lot like the UK system, where employer insurance exists but is genuinely a perk rather than something you need to survive.
- crooked-v 8y agoI would in a heartbeat if it means more take-home pay and/or never having to think about which providers are "in network" again.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoSee pjc50's parallel comment to your own. You may still have to think about which providers are in the government plan.
- Mirioron 8y agoThe chance that this will end up giving you the same level of care for less money is practically zero.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoIt depends. Insurance companies are able to negotiate better rates as they get larger.
