I wonder if they will somehow require insurance companies to cover the uninsured? Then, inevitably costs will rise, and Obama will be able to hammer them for high premiums and high costs, totally ignoring the costs he will impose on them.

Can somebody give me a quick and dirty as to how these health cooperatives would work?

Just think how much this will raise the cost on insurance for the 85% that have it now?

You can't add a bunch of really sick people to a small insurance group without the cost skyrocketing.

If they don't allow any different rates for those with preexisting conditions, everyone else will be charged more to cover it.

A small company with 25 employees would be bankrupted by adding some walking plague queer, with AIDS and every known/unknown form of VD.
