#2 Yet another non-believer speaks out. Not good for the regime.

#3 Public sector health plans are heavily subsidized by taxpayers, and are thus richer in terms of benefits and cheaper for beneficiaries than private sector plans.

For example federal plans premiums are subsidized 75% while private plans are subsidized by employers at an average of 40%. The subsidy is often higher for state, county, city and school districts.

Since exchange plans will be heavily taxpayer subsidized, it will make sense for many middle class private sector employees to jump off their employer plan and latch on to the exchanges. this can be accomplished by the employer plan being declared "unaffordable," or individuals committing fraud or, more likely quitting their job.

Therein lies the madness and the method of Obamacare.

#4 regular joe -

Or the employer simply stops offering healthcare and pays the penalty, which is cheaper.

#5 Ibls you are correct. But as we have seen with the federal government today, they never run out of other people money
