WASHINGTON -- The insurance industry yesterday charged that the proposed Senate health-care bill would shift costs to privately insured people, raising the price of a typical policy by hundreds -- if not thousands -- of dollars annually.

The trade group America's Health Insurance Plans sent its members a new accounting-firm study that projects the legislation would add $1,700 a year to the cost of family coverage in 2013.

They'll be crapping Skittles won't they? I don't want no Unicorn that can't crap Skittles.

It is laughable for the Dems to propose adding 46M (or whatever number this week) uninsured to the medical and not expect someone to have to pay for it, yet they do and get away with it. You work, you will pay for it. It's the communist way.

Unicorns will only be free if you are in a union plan. For all others there will be federal means testing
(1) Did you pay taxes last year?
(2) Do you have any money left?
(3) Send it to us.

Yea, just wait until Anita Dunn hears about this heresy. I sure don’t want to get on her bad side. The insurance industry must be related to Fox News - the epicenter of evil. I am constantly amazed at libtard world view. Somehow they really think people actually think like they do. Wow - delusional.
