    Perhaps they are trying to offset the previously undisclosed $63 dollar fee all insurance plans will be subject to as Obama takes from one group and "redistributes" it to another.
    One more detail in the Patient Protection and AFFORDABLE Care Act (PPACA) that wasn't mentioned.

    "Most of the money will go into a fund administered by the Health and Human Services Department. It will be used to cushion health insurance companies from the initial hard-to-predict costs of covering uninsured people with medical problems. Under the law, insurers will be forbidden from turning away the sick as of Jan. 1, 2014.

    The program “is intended to help millions of Americans purchase affordable health insurance, reduce unreimbursed usage of hospital and other medical facilities by the uninsured and thereby lower medical expenses and premiums for all,” the Obama administration says in the regulation. An accompanying media fact sheet issued Nov. 30 referred to “contributions” without detailing the total cost and scope of the program."

    Apparently passing the bill before reading it ...wasn't such a good idea!

    It will take them months to figure out the mess they made of healthcare.

    It wasn't great before, but at least it was understandable. All the details are going to come out. Affordable to who!

    To the people who won't have to pay for it, I'm thinking.
