I am hoping this Obamacare, which is nothing more than insurance reform, will create more competition in the market place and drive costs down. It actually seems to be doing that down here, as doctors are starting to bank together, form clinics and create their own HMO's. They make more money that way than taking insurance. New plans are being advertised every day, so maybe it will work.<br />However, if the Republicans repeal it, I lose all health coverage due to pre existing conditions and i have no idea what we will do.
