They wont. See a young guy working for me wont spend all that money on helthcare except for a catastrophy plan, while another may purchase a cadillac plan with it. They have the choice.....
NOW, it seems I got to find a plan for these guys where it doesnt cost me any more.
Some may get more than they need/want others far less....
Its rather pathetic that this provision is in the bill.
At my last job in Alaska, we were given an insurance stipend to do with as we pleased. In addition, we were given AFLAC coverage, paid for by the company, in the event we were sick enough to be out of work.
Of the seven of us, 4 of the guys just stuck their stipends in an account designated for health care spending, I bought a standard blue cross plan and only had to add 60 a month to cover the difference, and two others bought their plans through CIGNA or something...but they had I guess what is now called a cadillac plan.
That kind of freedom to choose what you need from the market is what is missing from this bill and exactly why most people don't support it.
