This is what happens when they try to craft a bill with insurance reforms like covering pre-conditions etc.. while trying to maintain the mostly private health insurance nature of our employer based system. The only way to keep rates from going up to pay the additional cost of the reforms is to force everyone to purchase a policy bringing in millions of new policy holders.
IMHO they should be proposing a single payer system that includes everyone but politically I guess it can't be done at this time. Those interested in keeping the status quo have bought the votes of too many of our politicians.
