  Hey, so let’s provide a financial incentive for businesses to drop their employer-based coverage and put millions of additional people into a Medicaid-like exchange system.

  This is the tip of the iceburg as the new health care reforms play out through 2014 and the markets react. The dirty little secret is that the Medicare and Medicaid that everyone is happy with today, is heavily subsidized by the profits made from private insurance. Do people really think that they will continue to have access to the same level of care if a substantially higher percentage of people are moved from employer-based to to government-funded plans with their lower reimbursements rates?

  I agree with Mark H.

  (But I’m biased.)
