Pelousy insisted that 400,000 new jobs would be created when o-care was passed.

Still waiting...

But wait: If insurance companies are forced by the federal government to cover people with expensive pre-existing conditions, and the federal government won't allow them to raise premiums to keep up with new federal government-imposed costs, couldn't they go out of business? Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd suspect that was precisely the point of this wonderful program.

Only a fool would believe that you could force the insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions, remove the lifetime cap on benefits, and allow "children" up to the age of 26 to be covered under their parents' insurance without raising premiums. Preventing these increases based on actuarial data will kill the private insurance companies, which was the objective all along.

but... but.... why would we need a law to prevent premiums from shooting up???? This was supposed to lower premiums...

Will Obamacare Shackle America’s Economic Future? (Part 1)—Moody’s Seems To Think So

"If one looks closely at the bill’s provisions, you can see that it is laden with new taxes, fees, and cutbacks in services."

The bill actually mandates higher costs and fewer services.

federal regulation of rates,

Well, yeah b/c if the federal government mandates that something is so then *poof* magically it happens. I can't wait until they regulate moonbeams and rainbows, and imagine how good it will be when they write a mandate that gumdrops will fall from the sky!
