[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 813176, member: 22662"] Well let's not pretend that a free market even exists in this country. Children are not mandated on their parents plan until age 26. Parent may opt to do so, but it is not mandated. It is erroneous as well as insulting to suggest that the health care changes are causing insurance companies to raise premiums. As I stated earlier, they've been doing that for years. The sky-rocketing rates were going to happen anyway. What good is it to have insurance if the company's going to drop the insured as soon as the insurance is needed. The only one who get's anything out of the provider/insurer relationship is the insurer. Premiums are going to force companies to stop offering health insurance. In 30 years we will have single payer. Will I have to wait for for a kidney? Maybe. But why should Joe Blow die because he doesn't have a colonoscopy until the cancer is untreatable? Because I have the monetary resources and the insurance that he doesn't? Maybe that's what a free market is. You are free to enjoy the market if you have the resoures to do so. Or you could just die early. [/QUOTE]
