Why would insurance companies make an effort to take advantage of that change when they are overwhelmed with preparing for the plethora of regulations and changes that Obamacare is ushering into their business.<br />To me this effort to deny the obvious reality that we see in all marketplaces and the way competition works for the efficient delivery of services and goods when they are allowed to function is similar to the way we see everywhere in our world that anywhere people are serious about stopping the unauthorized movement of people - they build a fence. Prisons, private property, government property, borders, whatever...it's clear it works better than anything else. Yet because of the microphone of the media and their liberal friends, all we ever hear is that a fence at our border is a ridiculous idea that would never work, and only a troglodyte of some sort would entertain it. It's repeated over and over in the media unchallenged and eventually conservatives seem to give up fighting it aggressively. We see the same technique being employed with guns in schools. It's completely obvious that anytime we are serious about protecting something or someone, from Brinks armored trucks and banks to politicions and their families,that we use guards with guns. Yet, we are being told over and over that it's such a stupid suggestion that...that...well it's just unbelieveable that anyone would suggest we protect our schools with guards with guns.<br /><br />With regard to the study on the potential savings of tort reform, I have read about too many studies that arrive at radically different conclusions to simply believe one CBO study that seems 'out of the mainstream' to me.someguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461188544078548321noreply@blogger.com
