How many years are we going to harp on the same point? Of what value is this?
The ACA had a grandfather clause; any plan anyone had when it passed was grandfathered in. No, Obama was not clear that if you subsequently ditched your grandfathered plan and got a non-grandfathered plan, you couldn't necessarily keep that new one when the new rules kicked in. The speechwriters and the policy people didn't do a good job of connecting on that one. The White House's communication about policy under the ACA has been exceedingly unimpressive all along.
But the law did have a grandfather clause to protect pre-ACA plans, the intent (and the outcome) was to allow those existing plans to continue. This wasn't some grand caper to pretend that policy was in the law when it wasn't--that provision does exist.
Because some of us care when we are sold a bill of goods with lies.
Obama was not clear ? How about he lied. You and about three other people on this board would be the only ones who said he didn't.
You don't know it wasn't some grand caper ? Or do you have access to information you'd like to share.
That grandfather plan you speak about didn't warrent the implied unconditional ability to keep a plan.l
PERIOD.
