Under Obama's health care plan will I have to give up the insurance that I have already?

I have health insurance through my husbands employer.If Obama's health care bill passes will I have to give it up and have a government plan?I'm just so confused because there are a few different forms of the bill being presented to congress.Also will congress not view the bill until they return from their vacation?

no is a correct answer... but here are the details. you will not be able to change your current plan at all once it's instituted, if you do, you will have to drop your insurance and enroll in universal. if you're insurance is provided via your job and you change jobs, then you will not be able to start a new policy with a new insurance provider through your new job and have to enroll in universal. page 16, 17, 18 http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-Bill… additionally, as the poster above me stated, most businesses would drop their health care for business reasons. with the increase in capital gains taxes and a shrinking economy, their profit margin is shrinking to a point where many businesses are just barely breaking even. dropping health care allows them to keep some of their earnings. although, if you look at the debt (http://www.usdebtclock.org/) universal is going to be unsustainable for a long period just looking at the numbers. if you are not interested in universal, there is a bill being floated in Arizona that will defend citizen's rights from government enforcement of any health care they don't want to be a part of. it's an easy read and if you agree with personal rights to choose and want to ensure that, you can send a copy to your congressmen at both state and federal level for consideration to adapt to their various levels as well. http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/1r/pr… i love when people cite opinion articles and videos as evidence to support their opinion and not the actual legislation. just tells me they are letting someone form their opinion for them instead of finding out the facts for themselves.
