As seen at WBAL:
The draft proposal would create an insurance exchange offering a variety of plans to individuals who would choose the coverage they want and be able to keep that coverage if they change jobs. Employers would pay much of the cost, and the state would subsidize costs for low-income workers.
For many Marylanders, the plan would be a radical change from the current system, in which employers choose health insurance plans. Big companies would be excluded from the plan, although no decisions have been made yet as to what the cutoff point would be.
