I can see where states like Massachushetts will have an easier time with this due to the lower number of uninsured. Also I wonder if illegal immigrants will be required to get insurance and/or have it subsidized by the state?
Many people complain about the rates and practces of health insurance companies and yet most of these plans make them the focal point of the coverage. It seems like there would be some savings in getting them out of the loop.
I don't think healthcare costs will become reasonably priced until there is more competition in the industry and that seems to be highly unlikely as long as there are groups lobbying (and paying) both parties to keep things as they are. If a way is not found to make healthcare more competitive then the government should probably just step in and provide it like national defense.
