IMO, the provisions we "discussed" (sic) above will prevent the astronomical increases in co-pays and premiums, not only in the new Exchanges, but in the existing large group market (employer-based) as well.

Neither of us know for certain. Will some company find a way around it? Possibly.,,,and if that happens, it would be addressed.

For you to dismiss my opinion and my understanding the the legislation, which, IMO, is at least equal to, if not far greater than yours, is your typical manner of discourse. Much like you dismissed the recovery program as a failure before it started, despite the fact that it has helped the economy begin to recover and has created hundreds of thousands of jobs.

From my perspective, the only failure in discussions here in the political area of the Cellar is your dismissive attitude toward others and your unwillingness to acknowledge that opinions that contradict yours may be valid, particularly those supported with facts.

It is the bully approach to discourse and it has been exposed.
