WASHINGTON — The health insurance industry, after cautiously watching Republican health care efforts for months, came out forcefully on Wednesday against the Senate’s latest bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, suggesting that its state-by-state block grants could create health care chaos in the short term and a Balkanized, uncertain insurance market. In the face of the industry opposition, Senate Republican leaders nevertheless said they would push for a showdown vote next week on the legislation, drafted by Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. That puts Republican senators in a squeeze, especially those whose states would lose money under a complicated formula in the bill. Generally, it would shift federal funds away from states that have been successful in expanding coverage to states where Republican leaders refused to expand Medicaid or encourage enrollment. Republican senators from Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Ohio and West Virginia will all have to decide whether to heed the pleas of consumers who like the current health law — or yield to the will of Republican leaders, donors and voters who demand an end to the Affordable Care Act. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/20/us/politics/insurers-oppose-obamacare-repeal.html?mcubz=0 I got a better idea ... how about all the people who like the Graham / Cassidy bill; get their insurance from those guys while the rest of us go with The Experts.
Last year the National Association of Insurance companies spent $86 million against Obamacare.. and they are just getting started.

Who doesn't like free ****? Of course the can't figure out why accepting more free **** guarantees that will need only need more free ****, and never get ahead
It would probably help if you post a link showing this free stuff being given to people ... otherwise it may look like you pulling **** out of your ass.
So all these folks who love their ACA policies are paying full price without subsidy? You a funny guy

Closest thing I have read is some French Chef is trying to get them to take away his Michelin stars because he is sick of people expecting him to prepare outrageous and perfect food every time.
The insurance companies were all in on the previous GOP health reform bills. I wonder why they oppose this one?
