I wonder how many insurance companies are strongly backing repeal?
Insurance companies will be just fine either way. This is not about insurance companies, this is about a government takeover of 1/6 of the economy.
But it's not a pure takeover. The insurance companies are being asked (some would argue that they are doing the asking) to "partner" with government. They get guaranteed profits and the government gets their fingers in our health care. Win/win. They can even pretend it's somehow "market based".
