by insurance companies for everyone or only for minor children in the HCR bill that will be signed into law? I know it will be in effect immediately, but I wasn't sure if this provision was for everyone or just minors. I've heard it discussed alot in reference to minors, which is why I'm asking.

The "high risk insurance pools" has been quoted at 300% above typical premiums, outside of copays and deductibles.
All I know is that we have a high risk pool in Texas and it is priced out of range for most working class people. For many there will be no change.
