Whoops: Ezra Klein Lets The Cat Out Of The Bag About Keeping Your Plan

In the context of explaining just why O-care is in much worse trouble than thought, and the Mary Landrieu “keep your plan” legislation, he writes

4. The bill Landrieu is offering could really harm the law. It would mean millions of people who would’ve left the individual insurance market and gone to the exchanges will stay right where they are. Assuming those people skew younger, healthier, and richer — and they do — Obamacare’s premiums will rise. Meanwhile, many people who could’ve gotten better insurance on the exchanges will stay in bad plans that will leave them bankrupt when they get sick.

Essentially, what he’s telling us is that it was always necessary to the “Affordable” Care Act for people, especially young healthies, to lose their health plans and be forced into the Exchange. Otherwise, a huge chunk of this boondoggle, if not the whole thing, collapses.

BTW, House and Senate Dems plan on introducing an “historic” pro-abortion bill which would stop States from passing restrictions.on abortion. Besides the fact that it violates that pesky 10th Amendment, this is Distraction Legislation, an attempt to change the subject from the disaster of O-care.
