Facts are stubborn things and I'm not sure why Wendell Potter is so determined to paint a false picture of the Essential Health Benefits Coalition (EHBC). See for yourself at www.ehbcoalition.org. Everyone should care about how affordable coverage is for individuals and businesses purchasing in the new exchanges.

We supported the IOM conclusion that the package should resemble that of a small employer. We think EHB coverage must be real -- reaching those 10 buckets of coverage prescribed by ACA -- but believe the cost of that coverage must be affordable for individuals as well as businesses. The "junk" coverage Potter cites (also known as limited benefit coverage or mini-med) phases out in 2014 as new coverage becomes available.
