Are you sure of that, Bruce? I have been unable to spend time with it, but what little I have heard is that this was a requirement they put into the ACA.

I agree with you about single payer. When you are trying to steal second base, you can't keep one foot still on first base. You have to go for it big time.

This was something that Hillary had right, when Bill was in office. All the special interest groups railed against it - and naturally killed it.

The insurance companies, and especially insurance brokers because they deal with most of the people that are buying direct, have taken advantage of the confusion/disinformation to make money. That shouldn't be a surprise. Humana has been particularly nefarious in "guiding" people into much higher premium policies than the ACA requires.

Bulletin... Attention Mr & Mrs America, and all the ships at sea... no company, or broker, is going to tell you all your options.
