It won’t get that far because they failed to be subtle. They didn’t want to try to sell higher taxes, so they instead use the insurance companies as proxies to raise revenue that they can use to “spread around.”
The people being asked to pay for all of this know, or will know, that they are paying more so that someone else can pay less (or nothing). That’s not popular.
“they are paying more so that someone else can pay less (or nothing)”
That is becoming evident, at least where I am-my customers are already calling our representatives at the state and national level-I’ve given Ted Cruz’s website to several in the last few days. If that is going on elsewhere, it tells me people are pissed at being fooled again.
Now I’ve got a Who earworm...
So how do you think this train wreck will be stopped? Insurance companies get more money to pay for the things they initially didn’t want to cover and now that everyone HAS to have insurance they will not be as strapped as initially thought. It isn’t going to stop and eventually we will all lose our group plans and be on single payer insurance
