There is some merit to the latter theory. In Oregon, Regence Blue Cross
suddenly changed their individual plans, lowering their benefits without any
significant rate decrease. Their emphasis are now high deductible HSA
plans.

Reason....they were certain the Senate bill was going to pass with the
guaranteed issue provisions. If somebody games the law, i.e. waits until
they are sick and then applying for insurance, then it's likely they will be
buying the best plan out there. Blue Cross is making sure they are no
longer the best. Other insurers will follow suit and consequently, plans
that are lower than $2500 deductible will be a thing of the past.

Bottom line....the responsible insured are being penalized by the
irresponsible uninsured.

If they want four more years of Obamunism they simply have to nominate her.
She gets the nod and I leave the Republican party for good.
