I don't see how that is going to hold up legally.<br /><br />I also think it will be a disaster in the making, because insurance companies are going to be guaranteed many more customers, and because there is no competition in the market, they will have no incentive to cut health care prices.<br /><br />Anyway....I have become post-conservative in the sense that I am more open to trying something new, instead of having already decided that govt. is bad all the time.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399706958844399216noreply@blogger.com
