And you still have provided no data to support your opinion on costs.

I'm not sure what data you want. I'm basing my statements on the fact that I've been in the industry for 7 years. There is no data on cost increases due to the fact that this bill isn't in force yet. All anyone can do is make predictions based on how adding high risk people (due to adverse selection) increases costs. Without reducing the amount that hospitals and Dr.'s office visits cost there is no way to reduce premium.

And another reason premiums will go up.
Where do you think all this money is going to come from in order to pay for these things?
