ORIGINAL: KYsissy It is almost as if it was designed so there would be no grandfathered plans. "If you dig into the regulations (go to page 34560), you will see that HHS wrote them extremely tight. One provision says that if co-payment increases by more than $5, plus medical cost of inflation, then the plan can no longer be grandfathered. " http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2013/10/30/obamas-pledge-that-no-one-will-take-away-your-health-plan/ There is a note that corrects the figure but it is a miniscule correction. Policies change every year. To set a three year timeline in something like copays NOT to change, seems as if it was designed to get rid of all current plans. Why should any plan increase a copay by more than the medical inflation rate? Are you saying the insurance companies are so incompetent they can't read actuarial tables? Do the actuarial tables account for.having to take on anyone with a preexisting condition? Anyone with a lick of commen sense would know that alone would raise rates. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. Personally, i am willing to pay a bit more so those people can get covered. In 5 years, it could be me or someone I love. Some things I like about this legislation, other things not so much. But to put that kind of restriction in the face of radical new laws sure looks like it was designed to have many existing plans fail the test. Bottom line, there is plenty of evidencethe adminisration knew " you can keep your plan" wasn't gonna happen. They lied and mislead on purpose fearing if the truth was known, it would not have passed. A hard dose of reality might have won me over the get go. As it was, i knew it was not true.
