    Sturg = this is getting old. You latch onto any headline you find that supports some cockamamy preconceived notion and like a puppy run with it.
    Read my friend ---- read.

    You see, this is why your HC went up 79%. Details man - details

    LOL. You're such an idiot. My healthcare went up 79% because of new regulations forced on my company. It would have gone up 79% whether I read about it or not.

    This was published 9:30ish this morning. Paul Ryan explained the report along the lines of this report in Congress today and yes, sometimes I am an idiot. But, I wasn't blindsided when my HC rose 79% and I didn't post an inflammatory claim 24 hours after it had been debunked.

    I wasn't blindsided either. What should I have done to stop it from happening?

You see some of the insurance providers were smart and made a deal with the government to provide coverage and apparently still made a pretty good profit out of the deal. I guess some people only like profits when the right people make them, huh?
    How on earth would anyone know if they have made a profit or not yet?

    how many would be lost if we just got rid of employees offering healthcare and got rid of this bad plan and went with a single payer system?

    Might as well now. So long as the single payer system has higher tax rates on all those younger or richer than me.

    Companies make all those statements, plans, etc. based on what they EXPECT to make, then go from there. It's insurance companies, remember? They already know more about us, our tendencies, even our life expectancies than we do. Of course they'd have a pretty good idea what they're going to make in any average year.

    After having to ask no questions as to pre existing conditions, id say it will be at least til policies end that we have any ideas on returns. Probably really soon to tell
