Reply #45: No, they all don't

Some employers offer more expensive plans as incentives to workers. Some employers simply do not want to change every few months that the market rates change. And some employers are clueless, picking the most popular employer like BCBS instead of shopping around.

To say that employer choices suffice for providing the best and most choices for employees is a joke.

However, I see no PRACTICAL way that a bill proposing that plan could get passed in THIS Congress. Do you?

If this is the real objection, political reality, then its much simpler to cite it rather than try and oppose something that has minor potential issues and a ton of benefits.

Honestly, I don't know. Why would this cause centrists to flip? What ideological reason could they cite for opposing this if it put downwards pressure on prices, saves money, and gives consumers choices
