Why does the Right continue to folks that "choice" will be lost if Obamacare is passed? Here is why.

When Mr. Obama repeats the mantra, "If you like your insurance, you will be able to keep your insurance," he is being less than credible. His comment makes it sound as if the individual is in control of her policy. . . . . not exactly true.

Most insurance coverage is purchased in partnership with businesses that share the premium costs. Their average cost is around 14% of payroll. If they (the company) decides to refuse this partnership, it will be fined 8%. We ask, what is the motivation for a business to continue to pay 14% of its payroll when it could pay only 8% ?? And if the business goes for an improved margin, its employees will have to go to a government controlled "exchange." Anyone think the company you work for will not move to increase its profit margins ?? Bye bye the insurance policy you once enjoyed.

On a related line of thought, think about this: if millions of workers move from their current policies into a government controlled exchange, what happens to those insurance companies left in the dust ?? They will HAVE to raise their premiums and, in so doing, become less competitive and more the "evil capitalist corporation" the present Marxist administrations abuses to stay in power.

It is estimated that within 6 years, all insurance companies will have become members of the Federal "exchange" in order to stay alive as viable businesses.
