A leading DFL senator outlined a plan Wednesday to limit increases in health insurance premiums, saying her idea would put hundreds of dollars back into the wallets of average Minnesotans.
Sen. Linda Berglin�s premium cap is part of a package that would move the state toward universal health coverage by 2010. Her bill, Senate File No. 2, is a top priority of the DFL-led Senate. Berglin said her plan would help as many as 40,000 uninsured people get covered.
The bill would cap yearly premium increases for all health insurance at a few percentage points above inflation.
What a novel idea. Limit what carriers can charge. I can't imagine why this has not been pursued before.
Is it because it is completely irrational and has no chance of working?
Possibly . . .
Berglin wouldn�t give a price tag for her plan,
Really? Is this because she does not know how much such a plan will cost?
She also wants voters to amend the state constitution to guarantee health care for all
Sounds like the making of a new reality TV show. Politicians without a clue.
All that is needed is to sign Peter Falk to re-create his "Columbo" role.
