Neither proposal would cost the government a dime and it would lower costs. As you know, if they don't allow insurance companies to reject pre-exists, a lot of young people will cancel their insurance. The thing that keeps them in is the fear that they will get sick and then not be able to get coverage.

I think the only people who don't get it live in the 202 area code. cb

BS - the markets went down on a strengthening dollar, bad earnings news from several corporations (e.g. BoA and Morgan Stanley), news of China's lending restrictions, and poor projections from IBM. The overpriced market is due for a correction, anyway. Get real. |
