Does Senator Johnson not grasp the fact that the plans he wants to allow people to keep no longer exist?

Do you not grasp the fact that they don't exist because Obamacare said they had to be cancelled for non-compliance with the law? Johnson would allow those plans to stay grandfathered in. Now I would agree the cost of the plan might not be able to be the same because of the rule that people with pre-existing conditions can't be charged more now, but at least the coverage in the plan could be the same. Costs on plans already go up every year, so Obama's promise was never about the cost of the plan. The companies would simply be able to say if you had a plan that they cancelled, you can request to get it back, if Johnson's law passed.

"Get it back"?

What does that mean? Does it mean that companies would be required to reassemble plans they have eliminated, and do a 2014 rollout?

Or does it just mean that, IF the companies desire to resurrect the now eliminated plans and IF those plans are priced correctly that they can CHOOSE to offer them?
