re: #177 engineer dog

also, about $100 billion a year is being added to the income of private insurance companies under the bill. normally, Very Large American Companies put a bit of pressure on congresspeople to make sure that they continue to see large amounts of money

thus, the private health insurance industry has a very significant intrest in not seeing this bill repealed

Possibly. I think they are also highly motivated to make this work. This is a free market solution and if it fails the next option is single payer and the insurance companies go bust. The insurance companies are only part of the problem. If the pharmaceutical companies, doctors or hospitals don’t play nice this could all fall apart.
