New health care law traps some in pricey state plans - USATODAY.com
This is an important article to read for those who are currently insured in state health insurance pools. I thought one of the intents of the new healthcare reform was to help people who are in high risk pools and are paying sky high rates. Instead they're not getting help and why not? Those who have sacrificed to be in the pools have been responsible citizens and they deserve the break. I agree that many people who wanted this coverage couldn't afford it and I am glad that they'll be able to get insurance at a reasonable rate. But what about the vast majority who are high risk and could have afforded coverage but just went without? They're getting the benefit of the new system. That's not fair. They should be penalized or the responsible citizens need to get a bigger break.
