Obamacare: I thought you could keep your plan

Low-premium, high-deductible health plans are endangered by Affordable Care Act : Stltoday.

“I’m only really interested in catastrophic coverage,” says Coons, 58, who retired last year after selling an electronics manufacturing business in Indianapolis. Beyond their premium, the couple typically spends no more than $500 annually on medical care, Coons says. “I’d prefer to stay with our current plan.”

Mr. Coons is obviously unenlightened and doesn’t realize he has a worthless plan. But he can be forgiven for thinking he can “keep his plan“.

If you read the article, it also implies that preventive care is at “no cost”. Don’t you believe it. There may be no “DIRECT” charge but you ARE paying for it.
