Yes,Lynda, I'm trying to read the thing--groan. One of the parts I like
is Sec 102 Protecting the Choice to Keep Current Coverage where it lists
this as one of the conditions: "the issuer does not change any of its terms
or conditions, including benefits and cost-sharing, from those in effect as
of the day before the first day of Y1"
Also, Part 313 Employer "Contributions" in Lieu of Coverage (8 percent of
wages tax) .
Another is part 59B: Tax on individuals without acceptable health care
coverage (2.5 percent of income).
HonesItly, I had no idea what Obama meant when he spoke of funding part of
this program through "savings." I just realized today that he means to
reduce Medicare expenditures by reducing coverage on classes of individuals,
specific procedures, and/or dr payments. Duh, I dont know why I didn't
figure it out before.
Support it or oppose it--whatever. Just be aware of what it really says,
not the ad copy.
