The big insurance companies endorsed it, which helped make it possible. So too bad for them.

They'll absorb the hit to have a lock on the rest of the market. It will work out well for them . . . for a while.

UNH, Met Life, and NW Mutual may be the last insurance companies left after Obama.

Hillary Clinton, who basically invented Obamacare

HillaryCare preceded Mitt by a lot. She started in almost immediately after Bill occupied the White House. This all took place even after Ronal Reagan had warned us for years the communist attack that begins with free health care.

Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine.

Yeah, it’s hard to feel sorry for the insurance company losing money when they are the ones that endorse this fiasco. They thought they would make a killing

Yep, they thought they would get millions of healthy young people paying a premium and the feds would reimburse them for the sickest. In reality, the exact opposite happened. The healthy young adults found it far cheaper to pay the penalty and the government didn’t reimburse the insurance companies nearly as much as they thought. Greedy dumbasses.

*REAL* health care reform should....

Should/would/could.

- Fed AND State need to but out: There is little to NO reason why the ‘basics’ include mental-health/addiction nor ‘birtch control’...for men.
- Insurance should return to exactly that: coverage of the UNKNOWN. Want something different, buy it. But, it ain’t ‘insurance’.
- Nor should the EMPLOYER have, nor need, any decision in the matter. Return the taxes benefits to the employee, and their plan(s) go with them, like car insurance.

Who didn’t see this coming.

The real tragedy is that the insurance companies will recover the losses on the backs of the American people.
