Do the Republicans not hear the President when he said you can KEEP your health care insurance if you want?

Yes, but an employer, in order to save money may elect a less than desirable insurance package for his employees, knowing if the complain they have an alternative. A lot of group insurance has the employee footing most of the premium with deductables so high, it's not worth having. The sensible option would be an relatively inexpensive major medical policy where the insured would be responsible for office visits. In the farm equipment business' hayday, the insurance was one hundred percent, but did not cover office visits. The real problem today is doctors and hospitals charge too much, but everybody is afraid to admit it. We don't need government control over our healthcare, they can't handle Medicare and Mediaid. Medicare recipients pay one hundred dollars a month for doctor visit benefits, yet can't find a doctor who will take them, so can you imagine the whold nation's health care facing the cuts Medicare has suffered? The supidist ertion is the funding for a national healthcare policy could be funded by cutting Medicare and Medicaid. What????? Those are the national policies. I guess to cover those without health insurance, Obama sees fit to take most the care away from the disabled and senior citizens. These programs are a nightmare, you should find out how recipients have to travel over one hundred miles to get a doctor. They leave decent sized areas, and have to go to smaller towns. Thats exactly what the whole populace is facing. Yes, private policies will be substantially dumbed down by employers.
