Health Care Amendment -- Keeping your Coverage

An amendment offered by Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-FL., would amend the section of the bill entitled "Protecting the Choice to keep Current Coverage" to include appropriate language in keeping with this section's title. Currently, this section contains language forcing all employer health plans to comply with new mandates from the Secretary of HHS within five years of the bill's enactment, thus essentially preventing Americans from keeping their current plans. This amendment would replace these provisions with the statement "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent or limit individuals from keeping their current health coverage". This language far more closely represents the section title's intent as well as President Obama's promise to the American people. Failed 32-26
