>>I suppose that is true if you have enough money left over after paying the new higher premiums (I know, you would argue that, I would say lets wait a few years and see who is right) to pay for the treatment you want. It also assumes that out of the myriad regulations spawned by the 100+ agencies created by Obama care, there will not be one limiting treatment.<< First, insurance premiums have gone up tremendously in the past decade anyway. Second, nobody is going to tell the insurance companies that they can't pay for a specific treatment. The regulations are more along the lines of requiring them to pay for things they don't want to pay for now. Third, none of the agencies are there to limit the treatments you are allowed to have. Their responsibilities are spelled out in the law, and that one isn't in there. The fact that there are a lot of them doesn't automatically mean that there must be one that is doing that.
