This czar will determine what coverage you and I will get.
The Czar and a panel will set minimum requirements on what a policy can offer, you mean........
Argue with the bill...
Here's what it states...
The Commissioner shall specify
6 the benefits to be made available under Exchange-partici7
pating health benefits plans during each plan year
You're missing the point, it's not finished and not signed, therefore it is not yet a bill. The committee hasn't voted it out yet.
There's a link to you not reading the bill?

Moron..
where's the link showing that a piece of legislation needs committee approval to become a bill? Evidently when the bill states it is a bill you have a hard time comprehending that, but that really isn't surprising.
Like I stated before a commissioner/czar will specify what your benefits will be, that's what the bill states.

It's not finished yet, or maybe it is, we have no way of knowing what's in it until they vote on it. How many times has it been complained that so and so stuck something in there after midnight and nobody read it..yada, yada blah.......
The commissioner/czar will determine what minimum coverage is. He and the panel will also decide what language means what for the purpose of detangling policy verbiage so that all policies can be compared in an easy to understand basis. IOW, there shall be no ambiguity as to the terms used when comparing policies. This is also applied for EOL provisions and to establish protocols for making the database work.

Funny how you chop off "consistent with subtitle C of title I and this section.", which totally changes the meaning from what you're claiming.
any OFFICIAL Bill that makes it out of the various committees and to the actual floor of the House for debate by the full house and a vote will have an HR 111-XX NUMBER on it....hr3200 is NOT an official number for a House bill that will be voted on....
this is the one hundred and eleventh congress and an official house bill that is voted on will have HR 111- in it, with another number afterwards.
this is what has been said about hr3200...

Nothing in this division shall be construed as affecting the offering of health benefits in the form of excepted benefits (described in section 102(b)(1)(B)(ii)) if such benefits are offered under a separate policy, contract, or certificate of insurance.

Because Title I, Subtitle C makes very specific what is being referred to "shall specify the benefits". Namely, that the commissioner would have the authority to determine which items would need to be in a benefits package for it to call itself as being at a certain level.
