Thought you could keep your employer's old plan? Think again!

Internal administration documents reveal that up to 51% of employers may
have to relinquish their current health care coverage because of ObamaCare.

Small firms will be even likelier to lose existing plans.

The "midrange estimate is that 66% of small employer plans and 45% of
large employer plans will relinquish their grandfathered status by the
end of 2013," according to the document.

In the worst-case scenario, 69% of employers � 80% of smaller firms �
would lose that status, exposing them to far more provisions under the
new health law.

The 83-page document, a joint project of the departments of Health and
Human Services, Labor and the IRS, examines the effects that ObamaCare's
regulations would have on existing, or "grandfathered," employer-based
health care plans.

Draft copies of the document were reportedly leaked to House Republicans
during the week and began circulating Friday morning. Rep. Bill Posey,
R-Fla., posted it on his Web site Friday afternoon.

"It's been passed around the staffs here on Capitol Hill. Congressman
Posey thought it was important enough to share," said spokesman George
Cecala.

In a statement, Posey said the document showed that the arguments in
favor of ObamaCare were a "bait and switch."

Never mind that many of those employers would jettison their
health care coverage anyways due to high costs.

But then don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.
