"The Short Way To A Single-Payer System [Veronique de Rugy]....

The unintended consequence is the following: How long will it take for people, individuals and businesses, to realize that they are better off not getting health care and paying the penalty? They can just get insurance once they need it, since people who are sick can no longer be denied health-care coverage.

If that happens, we can expect insurance companies to go under very quickly. Basically, many healthy people won't get insurance because the penalty is cheaper than the insurance. However, once they get really sick they will seek coverage and won't be denied. Insurance companies will find themselves with a gigantic pool of sick people.

I think the writer is being very naive. I don't for one second believe that this is an unintended circumstance. An insurance gal, who knew her stuff, called into Rush's show yesterday and said that the new law set-up the required benefits payout level to 85% from the current 75% level. She was sure their company would go under. THIS ISN'T UNINTENDED IT WAS ON PURPOSE, The WH idiot wants to take over every business he can. EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND, THESE PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS TO THE US.
