Why I'm pissed, and why you should be, too.

14. I think it is a sign of things to come

It has become clear that much, if not most, of the issues dealing with cancelled policies are due to the deliberate malfeasance of the Insurance companies. They have already been hit with fines (too small, in my opinion) for deliberately spreading misinformation. They are also using this as an opportunity to try and trick people into signing up for overpriced policies and blaming the price on the ACA.

I think people generally think of private industry as benign. Of course, those who are paying attention not how false that is. We are seeing the deliberate sabotage of the ACA by an industry that fought tooth and nail to be a big part of it.

In the future, wise lawmakers, should they exist, will have to count on dirty tricks by anyone who has to be relied upon to make a law function. The only real answer is to put in place heavy fines and jail time for execs who don't play fair.
