Thanks to tomorrow’s IBD’s editorial writers, for July 16, There is the following quote from page 16 of the Health care reform bill.

• “Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer
• offering such coverage does not enrolle any individual in
• such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the
• first day” of the year the legislation becomes law.
• So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of
• course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual
• coverage won’t be able to change it.  Norwill those who leave a company
• to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from
• private carriers.
