According to The Hill, an official from the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has indicated if ObamaCare works as it was designed to - employers will dump people people into the exchanges. Joel Ario of DHS said: “If it plays out the exchanges work pretty well, then the employer can say ‘This is a great thing. I can now dump my people into the exchange and it would be good for them, good for me.'” This is further evidence that the President's repeated promise "if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan," is nothing more than a myth.
Ario also made another statement that every state should take note of - that the exchanges are highly speculative and may never develop. Ario said: "we may wind up with an employer-based system for a long time because exchanges may not develop." AHEC has pushed states to forego establishing ObamaCare exchanges. This skepticism that exchanges may not work comes from one of the principals in charge of developing of the exchanges. Despite this, HHS continues to push states to spend scarce budget resources to implement ObamaCare.
