increased premiums in subsequent years, effectively preclude people from coverage.

There are always ways around anything, and the insurance companies are masters of that. Unless the law explicitly states that premiums and co-pays and denial of payment for services cannot be increased because of a pre-existing condition, etc., the corps will do that.

Only by a straight-forward, single-payer, (medical) professionally standardized and enforced set of rules can true, universal health care be made available to Americans. Because it has been so badly presented and is so complex in its details, no real benefit will result from all this activity.

But, maybe that is exactly what they wanted in the first place...
