He can say it, but I don’t see how he’s going to do this. Some insurers offering private policies let subscribers know the policy would end and left the state/market.

Yes, What about those that have already been terminated? Maybe they’ll take it out on the dems in 14

There's that, but also something else - "upgrading" people to more expensive plans that include services they don't need (like maternity care) was critical in flattening out premiums and deductibles. Letting those people keep cheaper but more tailored plans is going to keep money out of the system.

So insurance companies are going to take a financial hit with this. The question is: do they eat it as a "one year" cost of doing business thing, do they pass it along to customers buying the new plans or do they ask for the government bailout money promised them?
