"I heard the other day." That would be the Harvard Report, and the authors did some serious "cooking" of the numbers to come up with that result. Notice how quickly the authors resorted to "those who disagree with us are all in the pay of evil corporations." Kind of like environmentalists.
You're being taken for a ride. If the market were actually allowed to work, you might see some results. Start by removing the countless competitive interstate restrictions on insurance sales and the idiotic mandates that force every policy to cover everything. We can go on from there.
And I'm sorry, but the fact that some people are driving Porches and some are driving Saturns is not a valid reason to force everyone into Yugos.
The good news about this becoming a serious political issue now is that the Democrats can't hide the atrocious numbers behind their verbal fog banks anymore. Did you read the CBO reports?
