>The cost to cover those with "pre-existing conditions" will also likely be a lot higher than the reports suggest, but those costs won't be reflected until maybe a year or two from now. One might think. But many of those pre-existing conditions are nothing severe -- past diseases that aren't that likely to recur, asthma, and even acne have been cited as pre-existing conditions! -Z

Ted, I'm willing to bet that premiums for these health plans will go up rather quickly in the next few years. A lot of it depends on the individual mandate and how effective it is in forcing more healthy people into insurance plans that they would otherwise not get on their own. The cost to cover those with "pre-existing conditions" will also likely be a lot higher than the reports suggest, but those costs won't be reflected until maybe a year or two from now. We'll see.
