They can now only increase your rates max 10%, starting this year IF it increases for you.. something you can budget off of. Unlike the OP, which increased 15%.

"pre-existing conditions" kinda by definition implies not healthy? and not healthy means a loss for insurance companies... even if it's 10% cap, someone will have to get squeezed out, insurance terms could become less favorable, doctors could make less, etc
So the fact is everyone will indirectly have to pay for those that are less healthy, poorer, etc... so I and everyone else in pretty good health and financial position will be worse off...
whether that's actually a good thing or not is a completely different topic, that should probably be left to philosophers and academics...
