What's wrong with that?

55 years old and self employed. You now are required by law to buy insurance from a private insurance provider. They can charge you what ever they want for that insurance, the only thing that will change is that they can't say no out of hand.

The only two things that will have changed are that we are now forced to buy insurance and they can't turn you down. But they can charge you 3 times the rate for risk groups.

There is nothing to prevent insurance companies from dropping your coverage. We have legal contracts now, your policy, they can recind your coverage the same way the credit card companies raise rates by simply wording it's way around the legality.

Anyone 50 - 65 in America who currently has no insurance is going have a 1500 dollar per month bill hung around their necks when this bill is signed.

I don't give a flying fuck about the White House talking points touting this as some big ass victory. It sucks, everyone knows it, and the corporatist democrats can't wait to spike the ball.

Biggest corporate bailout in history put on the backs of the uninsured. Nice.
