Can't even opt out of ObamaCare regs and buy choice by paying the fine. Sheesh! Even If You Pay Your ObamaCare Fine, You Won’t Be Able To Choose Your Own Health Plan By John R. Graham Filed under Health Insurance on May 2, 2014 with 1 comment According to Sarah Kliff, the Administration has made…”a decision that industry officials say could trigger yet another wave of cancellation notices.” The administration is targeting a type of coverage called fixed benefit or indemnity insurance, which give patients a fixed sum of money whenever they visit the doctor or land in a hospital. The new rule would mainly affect people who had chosen to pay the individual mandate, or who were exempt from the mandate, and who bought a fixed-benefit plan as a stopgap. The Obama administration is saying that they can’t do that unless they also buy a more comprehensive plan. - See more at: healthblog.ncpa.org

There is a difference between performance standards and options. Sure, there is regulations that says the brakes have to be high quality and the air bags need to recognize when there's someone in the passenger seat. That's the same as regulating that surgeons have licenses and wash their hands and that there are plenty of sutures and an anesthesiologist in the operating theatre. Totally disagree. There are 1000's of minimum standards for cars, from airbags to padded dash to ... could go on forever. You build a house, there are 1000's of minimum standards. Drugs, street lights, clothing, aircraft, anything with a motor, car insurance, home insurance, even health insurance prior to ObamaCare all have minimum standards. It's what the whole regulatory regime is about.
