The average person may not see where this is going and may go along with it. I hope it runs out of steam before it gets passed.
National Health Insurance Exchange
By 2013, a National Health Insurance Exchange is to be established to replace the current individual health insurance market and provide an option for employers and public program enrollees in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). States would be allowed to apply to the federal government to establish state or regional exchanges. The Exchange is to establish health plan standards, facilitate the provision of comparative information, enrollment, billing, and other administrative functions, administer coverage subsidies, and respond to consumer grievances.
