Dude just fed the insurance companies free money. “Hey insurance companies, name your price and I’ll force people to pay”.

Well, they set the minimum coverage -- essentially setting the minimum price.

They also set things up for the insurance companies -- to become the brokers of the data for the government system (public option).

The insurance companies couldn't really lose either way, that's why they didn't put up that much of a fight. The regulations that were going to be placed on insurance companies, would allow them to profit in new and exciting ways. 🙄

When we can finally repeal the "Affordable Care Act" I will know that America has regained its footing.
