    The health insurance companies is what you get when you have the federal government completely protecting them and giving them anti-trust acts and so forth, if the government would stop and let the free-market decide like everything else than we would all have higher quality and lower cost healthcare. The government in this situaton is the problem.

    Insurance companies WANT this bill to pass so people are forced to buy insurance. This is the best way for them to make sure people are frightened into supporting a horrible bill.

    It's capitalism at work. Nothing more, nothing less. The free market has decided the cost of rates should rise. So they did.

    Costs are rising. Therefore, so are premiums. Only the Republicans are talking about getting costs down.
