More insurance questions

Will insurers raise rates before health-care reform?
Ezra Klein WaPo March 22, 2010; 2:29 PM ET

...There's nothing the bill will do to roll back past rate increases. But a lot of people are concerned that private insurers will jack their rates up in anticipation of the exchanges. This is not a concern I fully understand, to be honest. The virtue of a competitive market -- that is to say, a market in which it's easy for a lot of people to compare products and prices -- is that this sort of behavior is actually very difficult..."

Free Market, health insurance? Nonsense.

I want to know if the practice of raising the premium rates if the insurance is used will continue? I can't prove that that is what happened to me, but that is what it looked like to me.

Will the newly eligible government subsidized patient's caregiver's be reimbursed enough to cover their costs? It's not happening now, so it's hard to find a doctor who will accept these patients.
