If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan if the government allows you to, period. Remeber all that BS about just 5% of the American people losing their current ‘lousy’ health care coverage plans because of ObamaCARE and the so called ‘grandfather clause?’ More BS, as Obama’s own Department of Justice is arguing in court right now (in the religious liberties challenge to Obama), that as many as 80 million will lose their helath care plans by the end of 2013. The grandfather clause is really just pure BS. The brief was filed by the DOJ back in October of this year. So the Obama regime is fully aware that the so called grandfather clause means nothing. Most people affected will be those with employer based GROUP plans.

The Obama administration has repeatedly said that the health-insurance-plan cancellations receiving so much attention in the news in recent days will affect only the 5 percent of Americans who purchase insurance on the individual market. The Department of Justice, however, in a brief filed in federal court last month, conceded that the number may be much higher. According to the administration’s numbers, nearly 80 million additional Americans, “a majority” of those on employer-sponsored health plans, may also be out of luck.
“It is projected that more group health plans will transition to the requirements under the regulations as time goes on,” DOJ lawyers wrote in response to court challenge to the law’s requirement that insurance plans provide coverage of contraception. “Defendants have estimated that a majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the end 2013.”
