Insurers Attack Health Care Reform
After having been behind the scenes for months concerning the reformation of health care, the insurance industry has begun to attack the emerging plan. Several insurers have released a report that suggests the Senate legislation for nationalized health care would increase the cost of the average policy by hundreds, perhaps even thousands of dollars per year. A spokesperson for Senator Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, questioned the credibility of the industry’s late-in-coming cost estimate. Baucus has proposed an eight hundred billion dollar overhaul plan.
“It’s a health insurance company hatchet job, plain and simple,” said Baucus’s spokesperson, Scott Mulhauser. Until recently, the health industry had been helping to draft legislation, and had publicly endorsed Obama’s goal of affordable coverage for all Americans.
