The cynical ploy

This "health bill" really is a cost shifting ploy.

There will be some folks who will be thrilled to go back to stripped out and hollowed out plans that cover little when you actually need them. These shell plans will indeed have lower monthly premiums that these people find so attractive but the cost is back-loaded. You pay dearly if a health issue needs attention.
We also go back to the days of bankruptcy due to health costs since the lifetime cap on coverage returns with this horrendously cruel piece of legislature.
