No the government will limit what Insurance can offer. You will have no right to contract unless govt. approves as I understand it. For example, if I feel that I am willing to pay the first 2500 of my health care costs per year and I am really concerned with catastrophic costs. I only want a policy that covers all over 2500, won't be able to buy unless govt. allows that option, which will not happen. Happened to me, Had that kind of coverage. It was reasonable, I was happy, but State of Maryland decided that my wife and I needed to have coverage for in vitro, so many days for pregnancy, and a lot of other coverages that were absolutely useless to us. So now our health insurance has skyrocketed. We pay a lot more (of course some of that would have occurred any way) but we can tell by the first increase that it increased our insurance costs greatly. I was much better off when the government was out of the picture. lj
