Health care victory

I don't think it takes Alan Greenspan to understand that if you require insurance companies to cover things that they previously did not, they will raise rates to cover the additional cost.

Also doesn't take a genius to realize that if you tax pharmaceutical companies that those costs will also be passed on to private insurance companies.

Interesting dynamic appearing there - the taxes (at something like $40B) vs 30 million or so new potential customers, I don't think that industry knows if this plan will help or hurt them, but it's pretty clear that the costs per pill are going to go up, up, up.
