That is one way to hold down the tripling of premiums that the bill would require. Use state control to prevent the excessive costs of state control from being implemented.

That is an argument that few if any logical people could support.

>> "In a move aimed directly at health insurance companies, the revised House bill would launch a federal-state crackdown on what it terms "unjustified premium increases."

The insurance company profits are a negligible component of health care cost. How can one conclude that ANY premium increase is unjustified without taking the scant profits into account?
