Unfortunately for them, if the ACA remains, they'll have to give back most of those rate hikes if they can't prove 80% went toward paying for care.

You can bet the Republican pig fuckers won't keep that particular provision in their "plan."

have been put in. (Note: I despise big insurance and want single-payer.) The Trump debacle has given them no hints as to what may be coming in the near future and they have to set rates and decide where to do business. I'm sure they realize the chances of Trumpcare passing in any form is iffy and, in the meantime, the loot they were supposed to be getting for Obamacare has been cut off. This would be a great time for a public option (which would morph into single-payer).
