Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
Amos,
A pity that the bill(s) being considered do not do what Obama wants.
Insurance rates for everyone will rise- they have to.
In Maryland, the profit margin is regulated. When there are 400 billion in new taxes on the insurance companies, and they have additional expenses that they cannot put on the one incurring it ( ie, the pnes they charge extra for now) they will just raise ALL rates to cover the additional costs. NOTHING in either bill to avoid that.
