More bullshit. (none / 0)
"The bill puts limits on the rate at which medicare and exchange plan rates can grow."

That's only meaningful if you are forced to buy a substandard policy -- one weakened in its requirements by countless lobbyists.  But the insurance companies will make sure that their best customers -- the healthy ones -- don't have to buy those policies on the exchanges, since they don't have to sell insurance on the exchanges if they don't want to.

You supporters of this crappy legislation must be doing some kind of happy drug or something.  You're very naive to think that the insurance companies haven't already figured out myriad paths around the weak requirements of this legislation.  For instance, if they fail to meet the needs of an insured person, their fine in many cases will be $100 a day.  If they're facing costs of $1000 a day, they're better off paying the fine.

Do you think that they won't?

The insurance companies WANT this bill (none / 0)
They get millions of new customers, mandated by law, and billions in taxpayer dollars.  The insurance companies will pour champagne the day this bill is signed.
