I take the content rather seriously, and I think it deserves it. Its about current facts in the law, policies decisions based on it that have been discussed, and relatively straightforward analysis of what these things entail. The specific numbers are just projections, or if you want "opinions" or "guesses", but the point that many will have to change their coverage is pretty solidly established.

"Medicare has already notified insurers they will no longer be able to offer more than one "basic" drug plan in any given location."

That's not an opinion, that's what has been done already. Since a number of major companies have offered two or more plans, a lot of people are going to have to change just from that decision.

The student plan issue is also a concern. They don't meet the minimum standards in the new law. Unless they get some sort of exemption older college students will be forced to change their plan (and likely spend more, even much more).

And the concern of the tightness of the limits for employer plans to be "grandfathered" in is a real concern as well. None of this is "agenda driven opinion" Its the reality of current law and policy.
