The reason why the health insurance lobby bought the Tea Party with their buddies the Koch polluters is because of the 85% reg in the Affordable Care Act... Of course the health insurance company couldn't come right out and say, "Obamacare is going to restrict us from ripping your dumb asses off" so they have use the Tea Party as their proxies using other issues, other than "We want to rip your dumb asses off" to try to defeat the Affordable Care Act... The insurance companies love the mandate but would be willing to lose those additional customers just to get back to the good ol' "We want to rip your dumb asses off" days...
