It’s the power to destroy the health insurance industry.

Let’s face it with caps on profits, salaries, prices - America will soon be second best.

Remember when we all knew that wage and price controls don’t work.

My, my, my. Looks like some folks have decided not to hit the sack with Bam after all. Insurance, pharma and all the rest are having the lesson retaught...’Never trust a Kenyan snake.’

It appears as though the accelerator on BO’s 2010 model ObamaCareMobile has gotten stuck! Time to recall THAT thing too!

OK Blue Cross, did you support this healthcare nonsense thinking you’d have all sorts of cash from people FORCED to buy your product? If so, cry me a river (and I’ll push you in).

and allowing millions of people to forgo coverage until they are sick

How does BambiCare do that? We're all going to be forced to buy it.

Personally, I think the insurers are in bed with him. They see a single-payer system as the ultimate and inevitable goal, and they simply want to get the job of administering it, using the enforcement powers of the IRS, of course.

That way, it's all gain and no risk for them.

BSBC is the most politically successful insurance company bout there. They are the biggest defender of state mandates. BSBC is the largest carrier of small business health insurance and benefits most from these mandates that require small businesses to buy insurance coverage they don’t need.

That’s awful funny coming from a group that throws off a lot of campaign contributions to both sides of the aisle. Funded, of course, from your premium dollars.

gubermint forcing insurance providers to cover everyone for the same cost regardless of pre-existing conditions is the gubermint’s way of destroying private insurers.

BCBS supported the “reform” bill didn’t they?

The bottom line here folks is that the insurance industry would love for O’s plan or a similar one that forces 30 million more people to buy their insurance. This is one of the biggest sales scams ever. Its every greedy businesses dream to have a law passed that forces people to buy your product. More insurance is not the answer its the problem.

Will Obama shut them up like he threatened to shut Humana up?

[Venturer]

Obama already controls General Motors and Chrysler: Has he rolled back prices, has he rolled back Union demands? What right does he have to set the prices of health care insurance companies.

certainly we do not want higher prices, but freezing their prices and then demanding they take anyone with previous illness pretty much sets them up to go broke.

[freespirited]

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is hammering back at President Obama’s proposal to give the federal government new power to review, and potentially block, health insurance premium increases.

I'm actually glad that Marxism Central attempted this overreach. It pretty much ensures that the bill will go down.
