When Webb or Warner come around, you can ask them........

Kbanaian at HotAir has 6 Questions for your congressperson or senator:

1. Will this commissioner have the power to terminate one’s insurance plan and place one in a government plan if he or she decides the private plan does not qualify?
2. She also says that assignment is “random”. Indeed it is; see Sec. 205. Does your Congressperson support random assignment of people to plans that the Health Choices Commissioner says do qualify?
3. What will be the relationship between the Health Choices Commissioner and the IRS as regards the enforcement of the 2.5% tax on individuals who do not have coverage, as defined in Sec. 401?
4. Will the Commissioner hire his or her own staff to administer “random compliance audits”? What will be their powers?
5. If I disagree with the determination of the Commissioner, to whom may I appeal? What are the checks and balances on the Commissioner’s power?
6. We heard recently of a massive Medicare fraud case that lead to many arrests. How would this new Health Choices Administration assure us that fraud would not explode in these government exchanges?
