Nobody has said, or even said they will limit, what the insurance
companies can charge for all of these new liabilities. The real
showdown will come when our insurance options and prices show up this
fall. The CEO of Caterpillar is estimating this will cost his company
$100 million in additional health care insurance costs. That will get
passed on to the employees, one way or another..
Insurance companies are currently raising prices... did you miss that? It's
a fix that's coming.

I doubt it. His costs are skyrocketting now. Every reputable economist, not
to mention the CBO, predicts savings.

We don't have to wait long to see. What do you think "open season"
will look like this year?

We'll see. I think the sleazy Dems have an ace up their sleeve with
that Health Insurance Rate Authority that 'Bama tried to get included
in the Senate Bill. The parliamentarian kicked it out of the
reconciliation process - Byrd rule - so it won't get passed in the
current bill.
That Authority legislation gives a Fed panel the ability to watch for
excessive rate increases and even roll them back and make the insurers
rebate excess increases to policyholders.
I got a bad feeling that if the insurers try to jack up rates the Dems
will bring the Health Insurance Rate Authority legislation to the floor
for a vote, and make Republicans like you and me look real bad if our
boys vote against passing it.
They're sleazy enough to try fooling the folks that rate increases ain't
a good thing.
The sumbitches could end up with an even bigger majority!
I'm warning my Tea Party friends not to underestimate the skulduggery
Dems are capable of to get their way.
I shouldn't be writing this. Maybe they haven't even thought about it.
Doubt they read this though. Best to warn those on our side it's a
possibility and we should be planning counter-actions.
Hopefully the insurers will hold off on the increases until we get the
majority back, then they can do whatever the hell they want.
They're damn fine contributors.
Don't worry, there are plenty of battles left, and we will win the war.
We'll keep those who don't deserve it from getting good health care.
