Instead they delivered the worst possible outcome - mandates the insurers will dance around (like your example) or otherwise pass the cost increases to the customers, who are now mandated by the law to buy it.
LOL.

I don't think it's really a political issue. Dems / Republicans...it doesn't seem to matter. Looks to me like the insurance, pharmaceutical, and medical companies have ALL of them on a short leash.
As long as we pay 10 times more for every procedure...and as long as we pay 3 to 4 x more for every pill prescribed...we are going to be the losers in this.
I've seen Republicans talk about how health care is a big percentage of our nation's economy and how we can't let a "govt. takeover" happen.
Well I have two thoughts on that:
1. It shouldn't be that big of our economy because we are being price gouged.
2. It's not a "govt. takeover". It's an Insurance Company takeover. Those motherfuckers are now going to have 300 million FORCED customers.
