(114,517 posts)Yes, a very few people will pay more. However, they're likely to find the plan so much better than the crap plans offered to individuals that they'll change their minds.
Like the rest of us, they no longer have to face chronic health condition exclusions or lifetime payout caps exposing them to medical bankruptcy.
I'd have preferred single payer. Perhaps if this is unworkable for a lot of people and/or the insurance companies refuse to serve poor areas of the country we'll get it.
However, this is the best we could do with a Congress chockablock full of conservatives in both parties. I think it might be a little wiser for the complainers to wait until the plan actually kick in before they start to tell us how terribly put upon they are. Otherwise, they just look like sour grapes Republicans.
