2. i thought regulating insurance companies was a good thing
as is expanding medicaid.

as is helping people afford coverage.

as is preventing people from being denied coverage for preexisting conditions.

as is preventing older people from being charged more than 3 times what younger folks pay (on average they pay 11 times more).

as is preventing differential pricing based on one's health.

there are things that are no doubt, corrupt, within that bill, but they pale in comparison to what the bill accomplishes.

and not passing it leaves all the people this bill would help, out in the cold --and there's nothing else in the wings to help them.
