I cut and pasted the following from the bill: SEC. 102. PROTECTING THE CHOICE TO KEEP CURRENT 2 COVERAGE. 3 (a) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH INSURANCE COV4 ERAGE DEFINED.—Subject to the succeeding provisions of 5 this section, for purposes of establishing acceptable cov6 erage under this division, the term ‘‘grandfathered health 7 insurance coverage’’ means individual health insurance 8 coverage that is offered and in force and effect before the 9 first day of Y1 if the following conditions are met: 10 (1) LIMITATION ON NEW ENROLLMENT.— 11 (A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in 12 this paragraph, the individual health insurance 13 issuer offering such coverage does not enroll 14 any individual in such coverage if the first ef15 fective date of coverage is on or after the first 16 day of Y1. 17 (B) DEPENDENT COVERAGE PER 18 MITTED.—Subparagraph (A) shall not affect 19 the subsequent enrollment of a dependent of an 20 individual who is covered as of such first day. 21 (2) LIMITATION ON CHANGES IN TERMS OR 22 CONDITIONS.—Subject to paragraph (3) and except 23 as required by law, the issuer does not change any 24 of its terms or conditions, including benefits and 25 cost-sharing, from those in effect as of the day be26 fore the first day of Y1. VerDate Nov 24 2008 12:51 Jul 14, 2009 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\TEMP\AAHCA0~1.XML HOLCPC July 14, 2009 (12:51 p.m.) F:\P11\NHI\TRICOMM\AAHCA09_001.XML f:\VHLC\071409\071409.140.xml (444390\|2) 17 1 (3) RESTRICTIONS ON PREMIUM INCREASES.— 2 The issuer cannot vary the percentage increase in 3 the premium for a risk group of enrollees in specific 4 grandfathered health insurance coverage without 5 changing the premium for all enrollees in the same 6 risk group at the same rate, as specified by the 7 Commissioner. Read lines 21 through 25 of Section 102 which appear to exempt from the allowable granfathering a plan which changes cost or benefits. Of course the problem is instead of saying what the dems claim it is written so obscurely it is damn near impossible to determine their intent. Why not just say that if you prefer a different plan and are willing to pay for it you can have it. lj
