In terms even you should be able to understand do you think someone who's never had, let's say, auto insurance, been cited for numerous speeding violations, been at fault in numerous accients should pay the same rate as a person who's always kept insurance, never been involved in any accidents or received any tickets?
In a word, no. And it terms you can understand, because you so obviously care a lot more about insurance companies than people, when it comes to insurance premiums essentially the "sicker you are" the more you're going to pay for insurance regardless of whether or not this bill is passed.
The difference being, when the bill passes, is that insurance companies cannot raise premiums once you "get sick". Hence why insurance companies, like credit card companies, are jacking rates now before the regulations kick in.

They will pass it at 8am Thursday. They had the procedural vote in the middle of the night because Republicans were being babies & wasting all the time they legally could between votes. They've stopped now, actually, & allowed the vote to pass the bill up to 8am Thursday so they can be home for Christmas.
That's right Varus, your coveted Pubbie Senators are actually giving up on the whole "gnashing of teeth" strategy for no other reason than so they can be home for Christmas. That's sure is some selflessness right there!

They do. They don't like the idea of the government running it so much though. It was removed, however, so Nelson would get on board. The "bribes" also helped with this.
