The regulation in question is called Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) and it appears to have been written as to punish individual and small business Health Savings Account policyholders. It is complicated but the impact of the proposed rule is crystal clear, it discriminates against certain HSA policyholders by making them ineligible for the ObamaCare exchanges that are frantically being put into place.
Health Savings Accounts are the true alternative to government-run health care allowing individuals to opt out of the government-run system being promulgated by the bureaucrats in Washington, DC. HSAs allow users to set aside money tax-free into a savings account and that money is applied to the deductible of the health insurance plan. If you don't reach your deductible, the money is rolled over and grows in value. Health Savings Accounts have exploded in popularity as they empower consumers to make their own healthcare choices rather than waiting for a bureaucrat to approve their treatment choices. That flexibility does not fit into the government-knows best ObamaCare matrix.
That's why it is no surprise that HHS appears to be targeting a large portion of the Health Savings Account market. If the proposed rule becomes law, individual and small business HSAs will not be allowed to participate in the ObamaCare healthcare exchanges. Millions of Americans may be forced to look for different plans or even be forced to join government-run health care pools if this rule is not reversed.

Eliminating alternatives to ObamaCare.
So who actually wrote it?
We had a few hints a a few years ago, but they've been scrubbed from the internet.
It was a "think tank" of 60's radicals and unconvicted domestic terrorists, funded by the Soros machine several times removed.
One thing is certain : It was not bumbling, low IQ Nancy or senile Harry Reid who created those 3000+ pages.
I thought that any balance in the HSA was going to be transferred automatically to the government for premium payment.
Do you think a President Romney would veto a bill repealing Obamacare? Really?
I think it is within the realm of possibility, yes.

I recall the “Apollo Alliance” as being mentioned as the source of this monster.
From whom?
Furthermore, why should I believe that he [romney] will?
Wasn't Pr. "I had to kill the free market to save the free market" Bush hailed as a conservative? Why should I think that Romney, an admittedly lesser 'conservative' than Bush, would hold to such any better? What about Pr "No new taxes -- I'm raising taxes" Bush?
Face it, republicans have a reputation for lying and not standing by their word to anyone in the 30-and-under crowd. (IE everyone who can't remember Pr. Reagan.) If they wanted to get rid of that reputation they'd have anointed someone who at least represented a break from "status quo"/"go along to get along" like Goode, Paul,or Johnson.
For Romney to be in a position to veto Obamaid the GOP has to be in control of both houses and win the presidency. The odds for Romney having a “read my lips” moment and lying about as high as Obama not Vetoing a repeal.
