What part of "uncertainty" do you not understand?

Do you think Obama and the Dims will keep the Grandfather clause in effect long after the 2014 elections?

No, they're not. So insurance companies aren't going to grandfather health insurance based on election wishes of panicked Dems. They have no way of knowing if this is going to be a permanent or temporary fix, and it damn sure won't be permanent because that would destroy the cost structure of Obamacare needed to keep it propped up.

These plans are, for all intent and purposes, are wiped out and the patients will have no choice but to log onto the website or go to their state Medicaid for a subsidy. And next year, up to 100 million people on employer plans (including me, I got a stay of execution) will be SOL.

Right now this is certainly not their intention. It's impossible to predict, though, what will happen as a result of the O-care failures.

It's not just panicked Dems. It's millions of people who have nowhere to go right now. The insurance companies might be induced to provide time for these people, especially because those premiums are advantageous for them presently since no one's signing up thru the exchanges. Long term is another story.
