Aren't they all in bed together? Ever notice how the price of healthcare drops dramatically you don't go through insurance?
Not really... Anthem sued Express Scripts last year for over-charging for drugs. The insurer WANTS drug prices to be low, because they pay less to reimburse for your drugs (and can charge you less, thus getting more customers).
What I want to know is, how does he figure this will lower anyone's premiums? Those companies whose stocks are plunging are going to take some sort of action to push them back up.

The economy is not about love or hate. It's an interconnected system that affects us all. I don't cheer on any jeering of a huge portion of our economy.
