[QUOTE="JD8, post: 4258963, member: 24"] Medicaid has nothing to do with the discussion or really even Obamacare. To bridge the gap here, the Affordable Healthcare act forces insurance carriers to provide coverage in several ways. For instance, they cannot turn you down because of your health. They cannot underwrite risk, they must provide coverage. Now keep that in your back pocket for a movement. In the scenario where you want insurance companies to be forced to insure your house, who would enforce that? .Gov that's who. Essentially, if you really want the government to start dictating that insurance companies must cover houses in tornado alley, get ready for even higher premiums. In essence, any time the government gets more involved in a sector then it becomes extremely costly and inefficient to say the least. Again, I'm not sure why this isn't obvious. [/QUOTE]
