>>>>* So help me? I took the time this morning to listen to our President as he attempts to deal with what is now a very real, yet CREATED crisis in health insurance.

(Note it is called health care, yet it is not that, it is health INSURANCE and mostly about who pays and how much, rather than anything else.)

Anyway, insurance companies are going to be "allowed" to offer the earlier "substandard" policies.

But. Those are already cancelled, at least many of them have been. Based on a LAW pssed by Congress, which means to change it, the President cannot just decide to, that has to go right back to Congress. (maybe, are we even sure any more that Congress has a say in anything?)

Insurance companies have spent a lot of money figuring out rates based on the law. Now the law will change (but just for ONE year?) What in the world? At what point are these businesses, which are PRIVATE businesses, by the way, going to just give up?

Government can run at a loss, it can just go print money. Private business cannot run at a loss, not for very long.

How are they supposed to deal with just ONE year? Assuming the idea even gets past Congress? And get it all done in SIX weeks???

I do believe Obama has managed to make what was a close to intolerable situation...WORSE!....*EB
