Adding people to the insurance rolls brings down the risk and costs. Why do you think they made everyone get insurance?

You are going to cover everyone without regard to preexisting conditions and you really expect rate and premiums to decrease? The pool might have enlarged but many of the people in the pool are of a higher risk.
You know it is bad when the Government plans to hire thousands of IRS workers to audit this. If it is so great we should all be flocking to get coverage.
Oh and SAKO. Shut the hell up and leave this discussion. If you are who I think you are you have been banned a kajillion times.
