And now let's debunk the Demoncratic talking point over the health insurance exchanges. Very few people will be able to use them:

Quote:
Sen. Claire McCaskill discussed health care reform on This Week with George Stephanopolous, mentioning her support for a public option on a proposed health insurance exchange. The measure isn't a government takeover of health insurance, she said.

"Keep in mind, not everybody can even go to this exchange and buy insurance with any kind of subsidy. This is going to be a fairly limited number of people — 25 million to 30 million are the estimates — that would even be on this insurance exchange," she said. "By and large, most of this country is going to continue to get their health insurance through their employer."
And this keeps us at the trough of big insurance companies and passing costs on to those who have jobs.

The Democrats have never said the Insurance Exchanges are for those currently covered by employer-based plans.

In fact, they have repeatedly said that if you currently have insurance, you can keep it.....the plan simply offers more protections.

It was your industry whore, Betsy McHaughey who is spreading the bullshit that if you are currently insured, you will be forced into the Exchange.

Right...starting in 2016, if you have an employer-based plan, you (and your employer) MAY have the opportunity for more options than currently provided.

Employers will not be forced into the Exchange as McHaughey implied

Most people can't just go to the Fantasy Insurance Exchange as you implied. That is false and misleading. People will be stuck with what ever their employer foist on them and stuck with the bill that the insurance companies force people to pay for substandard plans with high deductables. Again the bill does not fix what is wrong with costs of health care.



Now there's a fix! In 7 years.
