Please provide any (objective, non-partisan) data you have to support your contention that most of the added are HIGH RISK or that increases will be about 8-10% and dont just throw numbers out in the air.
The non-partisan CBO analysis came to a conclusion completely counter to yours...most of those currently uninsured are not high risk and most of those currently in employer-based group plans will see a marginal descrease or no increase in premiums.
