FOX news sort of gets something right:
This week, a couple of conservative hosts on the Fox Business Channel seemed deeply concerned about premium rate hikes from California’s Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. They weren’t troubled by what the increases would mean for consumers — they were concerned that the increased burden on Americans might make health care reform more likely to happen.
I can’t decide if insurance companies are just that arrogant to think no one would notice a huge rate increase after a year of record profits; or if they really want some pieces of reform to pass. Hopefully this will lead to a robust public option but I am somewhat skeptical.
