Despite claims from the White House that its disinformation, the Lewin Group — a health econometrics firm that has been cited by think tanks and lawmakers across the ideological spectrum -- forecasts more than 88 million Americans could see their current employer-based health coverage disappear under the House drafted bill that includes a new public plan. Part of the shift would be the result of employers making the economic decision to drop their current plans in response to financial incentives built into the bill.

Plus, a health plan modeled after Medicare wont necessarily be more efficient. American taxpayers could end up subsidizing a health plan that would have an unfair advantage in the marketplace, driving many insurers out of the marketplace and limiting patients choices.

  • i hate my present health insurance all they do is deny coverage and sent reams of paperwork.

    the system needs reform. the irs can do better that the insurance money grubbing scum

  • I hate my health insurance, and I'm ticked.

    I just had to change doctors because I'm now on a different policy with the same stupid health insurance company that excludes the doctor I've been seeing for about 10 years now.

    So tell me. How exactly will I lose the crumby health insurance I have now if there is a government single payer option I can sign up for?

    Is it because I will get ticked and cancel the plan I currently have?
