I have my kids on private plans. Their plans are grandfathered in, so they will be able to keep them.
So what you're saying is, as long as your children get to keep their plan, "fuck everybody else"?
No, but you are trying to make it out as if nobody will be able to keep their current plan when in fact most will. It is true that some employers may be forced to switch to cheaper plans due to the cadillac tax, but the fact is that employers have an option of compensating those employees with better pay if they must reduce their benefits. Nothing in this world is absolutely perfect, and it never will be, but sometimes we need to try to make things better. This is what is happening with the ACA. The best thing about it is that once we know what works well in the ACA and what does not, then positive changes can be made. I happen to prefer that method over just going back to what we had which was a system that allowed insurance companies to drop policy holders whenever they felt the cost was too high.
Double standard much?
You state your plan will be grandfathered in as a good thing, yet complain about the previous system you are keeping.
