Like Your Health Plan? Read This | Michael D. Tanner | Cato Institute: Commentary: "If your current health insurance doesn't meet all those requirements, you won't be immediately forced to drop your current insurance for a government-specified plan. But you would be required to switch if you lose your current insurance or 'if significant changes are made to the existing health insurance plan.'

More critically, for the 70 percent of us who get our insurance through work, those plans would all have to satisfy the government's benefit requirements within five years.

More likely, your employer will simply find that the increased cost and administrative burden is not worth it, and will dump you into the government-run 'public option.'"
