In a shot across the bow to the insurance industry Tuesday, President Obama warned companies facing higher costs in part because of his health care law not to hike their prices, saying “we’ll be watching closely.”
Backing up his rhetoric behind the scenes, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is quietly working on a new regulation to determine when insurance price increases are “unreasonable” and potentially prohibited by law.
The move may provide political cover heading into November’s elections as the President tries to keep the public from linking recent premium hikes to his newly-passed health care law.

The list, ping
No...he’s trying to cover his ass before the election. He knows once prices start to go higher him and the ‘Rats are going to sink lower.

Yes, you will not interfere with my plan to force insurance companies out of business so my single-payer socialized medical control will become the “medical God”....
Hey dumb ass commie. Do you know what insurance companies are? They are entities composed of willing investors who risk their own capital with the goal of showing profit from their risk. If you mandate losses under all circumstances guess what will happen?
Just part of the strategy to bankrupt the private insurance companies and force the government option for everyone. The government requires companies to insure people with pre-existing conditions, removes the lifetime cap on illnesses, and allows “children” up to 26 to remain on their parents’ plan. Yet, they expect no impact on premiums or at least that is their story.
The goal is to exterminate the private insurers.
D'OHbama.
He's gonna make Deval Patrick up in Taxachusetts look smart.
The government is the cause, not the cure. With every leveraged crisis, Obama grabs more power! All the flinsy “checks and bsalances”, both Congressional and Judiciaal, must be replaced!
>The goal is to exterminate the private insurers.

The whole system of gumerment health care is price control.
There will be a fixed budget for every sector of the health system.

Correct. Can you say "health care rationing"? Can you say "death panels"?
