I have some honest questions. What are the mechanisms to enforce

[cali]

compliance by the insurance companies? What agency will do it? What is the funding for enforcement? Say Insurance companies are colluding and refusing coverage to people with pre-existing conditions on spurious grounds, will they just pay fines? Will they fight in court? How on earth do keep the ever more empowered and richer insurance companies in check?

1. It's called Deregulation.

It's been happening for years now. There are NO checks and balances any more, just highway robbery at our expense.

2. The soft cushions and the comfy chair.

That's about it.

3. Oh they will let in people with preexisting conditions. All they have to do is price it at a crazy

Rate. Then they can say they allow it but you can't afford it.

4. The IRS. It will be the insurance industry's enforcer.

5. They have exemption to Taft-Hartley just like baseball

unless the House bill passes. The Senate bill does not take it away. Think about it. The only industry with an exemption is the medical companies and ML baseball.

6. They get, we give. They can do whatever they want, we're monitored scrupulously,so that

we're appropriately fined.

Methinks the prison industry is going to expand--along with peonage.

7. Strongly worded letters from Harry Reid!
