re: #363 opnion

The government in the beginning anyway will allow the private plans to compete. The problem is that Obamacare will cost employers less.
Private plans will be at a cost disadvantage because there will be no government subsidy for them.
Employers will opt for the less expensive plan, so his pledge is meaningless.

Not to mention the fact that they’re planning to tax employer-provided health insurance as income in order to pay for the government plan, providing yet another incentive for people to switch.
