    So, RI has bearly 1,000,000 people in the state and this data says that 1/3 were running against the caps in the past. I find this number intreging if it is correct. It tells me there may be some fraud in the state. Go figure……

    I didn’t know Rhode Island had that many people crammed into such a small area. They must be a sick state to have caps coming into play. Not to worry, Obamacare will take care of them all except for the seniors who will be told by the Death Panels to take a pain pill and go to bed.

    Not only can Johnny not read but many of those who can do not comprehend what they read. The article states that 105 million people nationwide had plans with caps/limits. It just happens that 1/3 of Rhode Islander’s had plans which contained caps…..not that 1/3 of Rhode Islander’s were approaching those caps. Many IJ readers probably have/had caps on their health care insurance and never read the fine print to know it. In most cases, folks only found out about a cap on their plan when they were hit with a catastrophic illness and capped out. Be thankful this is no longer the case.

      Missing, could it be that many have the lower cost plans with the caps and limited benefits? Is it any wonder that companies like McDonalds with these type plans sought a Waiver from Obamacare along with thousands of other companies and unions? If everyone has to buy one size fits all plans with unlimited benefits, do you think the Affordable Care Act will be affordable for anyone? Companies have reacted to Obamacare by unceasing rate increases because they know what is coming down the pike. Now, I suppose we have to provide contraception benefits under student health plans for free. Nothing is free so the premiums will continue to rise.

    so maybe we know why insurance costs have accelerated in the last few years. Doh, when you provide more coverage it costs more. Anyhow, I am looking forward to the part where Obamacare starts to save us money?
