In reply to the discussion: Obama administration quietly approves new Obamacare loophole benefiting insurance companies. [View all]merrily

If this change is not better for insurers, why did they seek it? and if it hurts only medical providers, why did they not oppose it?
And, if it does not hurt anyone, why did the OP story not say so? And why was it done "quietly" and with no reassuring words from the Obama administration, which has not been shy with reassuring words, even when it should have been a lot shyer about that than it was?
And, if you don't know the details, why have you posted more than once that this is no change, at least no adverse change for patients?
BTW, I am not a progressive, nor do I have a clue what the word means these days. Both Obama and Clinton have described themselves as progressives and I have no clue what they meant. In fact, most New Democrats toss around the term "progressive" as though it were candy to the base.
If I had to choose any words to describe my political views, I would say I am the kind of Democrat that my parents assumed made up the entire Democrat Party. These days sometimes I say liberal, but that is not accurate, either. I never call myself a progressive.
