Insurers flocking to ObamaCare

[cheapdate]

17. The new health care law preserved the system of private health insurance

while imposing strong reforms that benefit the people, no cancellations, no denials, no discriminatory pricing. It significantly expanded the availability of public health insurance (Medicaid) for low income Americans.

This is not a "surprise" to which Americans are just now "catching on" -- unless they never really followed the progress of the legislation in the first place.

The new law obviously isn't single payer or a "government takeover".

It seems to be working modestly well and I'm modestly pleased with it.

The alternative was, of course, nothing. If this bill had failed in the senate we would have had nothing. Probably for at leat another decade or more. Another decade of medical bankruptcy and continued health care disaster for millions.

How about the Medicaid expansion? Anything good you could say about that?
