28. Millions of children, young adults and elderly are now insured

and they can't do a damn thing about it. They can't take your insurance premiums and turn around and tell you that they won't allow you to get medical care for 'pre-existing' conditions thereby enriching themselves on your payments while not treating you. They can't tell your 25 year old son or daughter that they aren't covered so fuck them.

In the long run it's about the bottom dollar. They want to rake the money in while paying out the minimum. They can't do that now.
