What they mean by, "Choice ..."

[PsychoBabble]

The rules are a preview of GOP Obamacare replacements

Republicans have repeatedly cited both high deductibles and narrow networks as major problems with Obamacare and promised to rectify that if they succeed in repealing and replacing the law. But they’ve also promised lower premiums and better access to care for everybody ― all while having the federal government spend less money.

This is basically impossible, as health care policy always involves trade-offs. And the trade-offs Republicans have in mind look a lot like the new rules HHS just proposed.

In general, Republicans would scale back regulations on insurers or eliminate those regulations altogether. They’d also cut federal spending substantially.

The net results would depend to some extent on how Republicans designed their alternative ― and, inevitably, they would vary from person to person. Some people would definitely save money, particularly if they are relatively affluent. But in general the result would be that fewer people have coverage or the people with coverage have less financial protection and more restricted access to providers.

In other words, there would be some combination of more uninsured and higher out-of-pocket costs for the insured. This may not be what people have in mind when they hear Republicans promise “relief.”

So "CHOICE" = PAY MORE, or DO WITHOUT

While you have to admire their facility with verbal sleight-of-hand, you also have to wonder if they would go home at night and suggest that their children take the same kind of action in their own real-life behaviors.
