Carmen L. Balber, director of consumer Watchdog group stated. "the success of the reform of health care depends, in part on the cooperation of the insurance industry. insurers have endless opportunities to throw roadblocks. If they try to stick to the old way of doing business, it will be much harder for administration to achieve the aim of high quality, affordable care. "
