Fact, in Obama's "Universal" Health Plan:

Switch to the government plan... you can NEVER go back to private

The House server is flaky. I finally got a full copy and posted it
to my own website to make it easier for you all to see what ****
can come forth from Democrats...

AND: Any sane observer can also see that middle class taxes are
required to pay for this. Congress doesn't understand that
doubling a tax rate DOES NOT DOUBLE revenue. When they see that,
guess what? Enjoy!

Ah, thanks, this one is copyable.

(a) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH INSURANCE COV4
ERAGE DEFINED.-Subject to the succeeding provisions of
5 this section, for purposes of establishing acceptable cov6
erage under this division, the term ''grandfathered health
7 insurance coverage'' means individual health insurance
8 coverage that is offered and in force and effect before the
9 first day of Y1 if the following conditions are met:

10 (1) LIMITATION ON NEW ENROLLMENT.-
11 (A) IN GENERAL.-Except as provided in
12 this paragraph, the individual health insurance
13 issuer offering such coverage does not enroll
14 any individual in such coverage if the first ef15
fective date of coverage is on or after the first
16 day of Y1.

In other words, all the part IBD quoted means is that to be
considered grandfathered coverage, it has to begin before the date
specified.

That's right. And this is how Obama manages to get his 'technically
correct' wording to fly. As long as you have it 'now' you can keep it
but after the bill is passed your 'choices' are "government mandated."

No, they are not. And you cannot find the text which mandates any choice.

What you mean is, insurance offerings will be regulated. But it's all
regulated now.
