A view from an insurance employee

Well, they passed it in the House. Now the Senate and returning the abortion rights to the bill.

A couple of things I can tell you that are hard facts are this. If you currently have a private insurance policy, starting in 2011 your premiums will double if you are lucky, and in most cases triple. It is unavoidable. It is the cost associated with the legislation which the insurance companies have no choice in but passing on. You will start paying these higher rates even though their government option will not be available to you for another 3 years.
