PeterMP Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would argue they don't compete at the higher ends much either cause what they cover, their services, and rate increases are not well defined for the consumer.Point is if you put a floor under the insurance companies at the low end, it effectively puts a floor under all the companies. If the low end federal program covers baby deliveries without out of pocket costs; The folks who have private insurance who get soaked for 1-2k for stupid out of plan expenses will have something to compare their service to. But most people don't have their own insurance so they still aren't going to care. That's the point of McCain's plan. To make you think about what you are getting and how much its worth. Yeah taxing insurance benifits and giving insurance companies checks in the form of tax rebates on the consumers... The consumer get's it coming and going. Come on JMS your better than that. Its a talking point. Its a tax credit to pay for insurance. Does it matter if it goes to you, and then you write a check to the company? All it does is help prevent mismangagment/fraud.
