36. Not to mention possibility of "dumping"
by private health insurers of patients with high cost illnesses on the national health care system. Too many loopholes will allow private insurers to raise premiums on sick people, dumping them into a national plan.

Obama's plan, unlike Clinton's, also has no mechanism to "cap" private and public health insuranc premiums to a fixed percentage of an individual's income...


Clinton Would Support Capping Health Insurance Premiums at 5% to 10% of Income If Elected
