"A cancelled policy is a cancelled policy. I would think they would have to go through the underwriting process again."

And what business would go through the expense of reintroducing a product that is going to again be illegal in one year.

When Government kills business in the private sector it's killed for good. Obama knows this.

It’s going to need an industry consortium to puzzle out how to deal with the aftermath of Obamacare when it breaks its own back through arrogance.

Technically it’s a new underwriting, however maybe certain old policies can be Rip Van Winkled.

Now that said, why do we necessarily have to be tied to the old insurance policy model. That brought its own evils, though not even close to as evil as Obamacare. It turned US health care into a commodity, when the personal touch does matter with a doctor. Knowing your doctor should be at least as important as knowing a mechanic that is trustworthy. Why not let treatment plans be clinic-centric, an HMO model writ small. That has actually worked, if reports I read are correct. The assurance of having a dedicated doctor or office on call has apparently mitigated most of the problems with hypochondriac patients.

Actually, it will be illegal for the one year as well. But Obama has promised no one will prosecute the illegality.

The "fix" is a plea for the insurance companies to break the law because Obama is so very trustworthy!

They may be forced to on the surface politically. It’s like insuring your car. It’s only as good as it’s age of depreciation which is a lot in the car world. Obamacare is going to have to be repealed.
