In 2016, if you currently get your insurance at work, your employer MAY (not WILL), if they chose, "shop" on the Exchange for a new plan or additional plans to offer employees, providing more options, with different levels of coverage (and priced respectively) to employees than most companies currently provide.

Hell, if you get your insurance at work, there is currently nothing to prevent your employer from switching plans every year that would end up costing you more and covering less..and many employers are doing just that.

The bill will give you more options and greater protections.

Talk about bull shit. The "exchanges" are pure fantasy. There is absolutely nothing in the bill which says that any plan offered in the fantasy exchange is going to offer you "more options and greater protections". In fact it gives the insurance companies great leeway in what is offered and no evidence of cost control. There is nothing which controls how much an employer charges you as a chunk of your income, only a percent. As in most of the plans failures there is no cost control of health care with the exception of a few targeted areas.
