Impeding changes to our Health Care system

This sounds like what corporations did for employees with their pension plans.
First the corp. pays all of the pension, but quietly transfers the $ to their operating budget.
Then they entice the employees by setting up 401 plans where they match $ for $ of the employee's contribution.
Then gradually, the corp. drops it's matching $ until the employee is paying 100% of their own pension.
It all happens so smoothly there are no uprisings or riots.

So if it works with pensions, it's bound to work with health plans too.
