This plan, although not called NHCP, is already in affect. The National Health Care plan is the same one everyone up in DC uses. Obama made that clear back sometime ago. If it's good enough for them, it will be good enough for us. I am already on a similar government plan, Tricare and I chose the HMO coverage. Been on it for 21 years now and no complaining. I went back and forth with job coverage and Tricare (Champus, back in the day) and found Tricare to be the best for us. I have the option of a PPO but my luck I'd end up in the hospital and have to pay the 25% cost share. No way, thanks, I'll keep my managed health care.

My only question will be if everyone can choose HMO or PPO? Oh and remember, everyone can keep their current health care plan. This is to ensure everyone has coverage, not just those who can afford it. My oldest will be without healthcare for the first time this December. The premiums we are looking at are insane!

PS: The commercial name of my coverage is HealthNet Federal Services. I think they also offer civilian coverage. Not all Tricare vendors are the same depending on your region. Some still have Humana as their coverage. I wonder if the new program will be similar based on where you live? It's the same coverage, just a different carrier.
