The bill prohibits insurers from raising premiums without showing just cause to do so. The basic idea behind THAT is kind of like how states regulate energy companies from raising rates. As far as the taxes... poor rich people... omg they are going to have to pay taxes on money they earned from money they have... they only pay 15% on capital gains right now... which is far less than I pay on my EARNED income... sorry if you won't find a pity party here. <<-- that statement would make 12clicks have a cow.
