I wish I could....the proposed plan says it's grandfathered in, but BC/BS is not allowed to sell it to anyone ever again, nor can they change it in any way.....if I lose it for any reason, I have to go with a 70/30 plan....

1) Why do you think BCBS is not allowed to sell it so anyone ever again?

2) They can change it but the change must provide the essential benefits as described in HR 3200.

3) If you lose it you don't have to go with a 70/30 plan if you wanted to purchase a private insurance plan through the exchange that offered an 80/20 split. The 70/30 is a minimum, not a maximum.

the 7/30 split is defined as an essential benefit....unless you opt for the 85/15 or 95/5...

once you specify a 70/30, 85/15, or 95/5 what are the odds anything else is going to be available.....besides....what about a 60/40 or 50/50?......why specify a minimum?.....

1) Where does the House Bill state that?

2) No, the 70/30 split is the minimum, not the maximum.

3) The minimum is deigned to keep costs down for the consumer. The odds are quite good other splits will be available as a split that is more generous for the consumer would likely be quite popular. Competition does that.

you're kidding, right?......you are arguing in favor of a bill and you don't know what it says yet?.....you've had weeks to become familiar with it....these provisions have been argued at length on this very board.....

Uh, I know what's in the bill. I don't think you do. That's why I asked for a citation. Can you tell me what section you are referring to?
