The concern here is that healthier people are more likely to stay in these pre-Obamacare plans; they're probably more okay with a skimpier benefit package. And that could drive up premiums in the new Obamacare markets. A short-term fix, in other words, could become a longer-term problem for the president's health-care law.


People are being too short-sighted. They're cheering what they perceive is a political win when this "fix" is undermining the law's foundational stability.
