SEC. 107. Prohibition against duplicating coverage.
(a) In general.—Beginning on the effective date described in section 106(a), it shall be unlawful for—
(1) a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act; or
(2) an employer to provide benefits for an employee, former employee, or the dependents of an employee or former employee that duplicate the benefits provided under this Act.
(b) Construction.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed as prohibiting the sale of health insurance coverage for any additional benefits not covered by this Act, including additional benefits that an employer may provide to employees or their dependents, or to former employees or their dependents.
Yep. So if people feel they aren't getting the coverage they want they can "upgrade" to a private plan at their own expense.
So it does not, inthe "words of the president" :
Quote:Dishonestly called “Medicare for All,” the Democratic proposal would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that eliminates all private and employer-based health care plans
I'm stunned he either lied or doesn't know how it works.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
