   The issue here is that when Obama said that people could keep their   
   existing plan he should have quantified it by stating that he was   
   talking about employer plans that at least met the minimum requirements   
   (of which nearly all do).   
      
   What we're seeing now is people paying themselves for very poor   
   insurance being told that their rates are going up, or their policies   
   being cancelled, because the polices don't meet even the bare minimum of   
   coverage offered in the "Bronze" plan.   
      
   You know that the Republicans have lost the battle when all they have to   
   complain about is a web site that's unable to handle the demand and the   
   complaints of people that are going to have to change to an insurance   
   plan that's actually a much better deal for them.
