"You will take my plan, you will keep my plan, and you will like my plan - or else!" (via Newsmax Insider):
The Obama administration is considering a regulation that would allow the government to automatically switch many people's healthcare insurance exchange plans to a different plan.
Shocking, isn't it?
Under current law, most exchange enrollees who do not revisit the exchange website are automatically re-enrolled in their current plans when their coverage expires (although a few states don't allow automatic renewal).
That would be the same healthcare.gov that is still "glitch"-ridden to this day, having created enormous incentives to not "revisit" it, yes?
The proposed regulation from the Department of Health and Human Services would give exchange enrollees a choice: They could indicate that they would like to re-enroll in their current plan, or they could give the government the ability to move them into a cheaper plan if their current plan's premiums rise.....
In other words, you either wrestle with healthcare.gov to claw your way to the page where you surrender all remaining pretense of control over your own healthcare, or you bag the whole thing and let the Regime rape and pillage you in perpetuity.
For those who choose to let the government switch their plans, "the government would be effectively choosing their insurance plan, a far cry from the 'if you like your plan you can keep it' pledge," notes the Cato Institute in a report on the proposal.
Just so. Or, as I keep saying, life is all about the incentives - which nobody can convince me this White House does not know excruciatingly well.
Funny how his infernal majesty never used that as a selling point five years ago, huh?
