1. Typical RW talking point
for one. The gov't is doing something, ergo it's going to get more expensive. As if that's the only reason.

He's forgetting that plenty of people who *aren't sick* and don't need care right now, will be in the pools for the first time since what the mid-80s? That will bring more revenue into the system than would be there without the law. (Doesn't mean that ins cos will not use it as an excuse for rate hikes, though.)

I would expect it to maybe not be cheaper, but at least hold the line for a while.
