It’s ‘popular’ therefore NBC believes it’s automatically a good thing.

All these stories about people seeing 30, 40 50% increases in their policy premiums crack me up. I wish I were that lucky.

Healthy people will have to pay for sick people. That is how health insurance works.

Young people will be the greatest losers under this plan and in the long term with our ever-growing list of entitlement commitments. We are indenturing our young even before they leave the womb.

Can’t we just have Ben & Janet create another trillion a year and give it to everybody for free?

Can you insure a burning barn for fire? Sure, if the owner is willing to pay the total value + expenses as a premium.

Or you can charge his neighbors a lot more for their barn insurance, raising their premiums to level out the cost of the fire.

In setting next year’s rates, insurers must factor in “assumptions about who will sign up, high users or healthy people,” <<<

DUH!...Funny how free enterprise works as opposed to a government that can give you everything..until it runs out of “everything”!

As I read this article it seemed to me as if this was the first time Julie Appleby actually used her two available brain cells to consider why covering pre-existing conditions might lead to higher costs.

“When setting premiums for next year, insurers baked in bigger-than-usual adjustments, driven in large part by a game-changing rule: They can no longer reject people with medical problems.”

...well I’m SHOCKED I tell you! Who in the world could have predicted THAT happening?

:/

This is what the actuaries call "adverse selection" and changes any coverage from "insurance" to "a health maintenance plan!" It's like car insurance being required to pay for replacement tires, oil filters, frequent wax and even paint jobs, aging batteries, wheel alignments or things the insurance companies call "inherent vice!" (stuff that just craps out for no good reason)

What would such an auto policy of that insainly comprehensive list of coverages cost a person?

I tell ya these Democrats and Liberals have no concept of dealing with risk in any rational sort of way!!!
