Am I the only one that thinks it seems likely that once people find out that their existing plans will double or triple in price that there will be an uproar and someone will introduce a bill to exempt pre-2014 policies from post-2014 requirements?

Maybe you are alone, but not completely. I am there with you.

2014 is an election year and I expect a lot of politicians to be thrown out on their butt if this law is still around.

I can't wait until the news stories start about people's $10k deductible HSA plan that was $250/mo automatically changing into a $2k deductible copay plan that's $950/mo.

I just so glad that our president pushed this cliff off til after the elections in 2013. Could you imagine that instead of getting MLR refund checks, they get inflated premium hikes. Do you think they did this on purpose?

I resemble that, or so I fear.

No kidding. This will be a sticker shock for the average policyholder, won't it?
