Why health insurance waivers are not the best idea -

stopsign As the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grants exceptions to 30 companies and another 114 requests comments, it's hard to ask whether this is a good idea. Is it a good idea to allow companies to offer plans that do not comply with the new regulatory reform health care? Is not this setting a trend for the next three years?

Mini-Med and limited benefit plans were discussed on The Corner cover a few times this week. They offer limited benefits and the cap cover and do not conform to the reform of health care. The companies that offer these plans should be paying more for the different plans or stop offering coverage. Therefore, exemptions have been granted to avoid disruptions in health insurance plans of current employees.

The White House defends waivers. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said: "The exemptions are intended to guarantee and protect the coverage that people have until there are better options available to them in 2014. We want to ensure that, in time it takes to implement the law and to give people better options, they are not found to thank you for an insurance company jacking their rates. That's why these exemptions have been granted. "

While the White House puts the blame on the health insurance companies, again, should not have considered what would happen to the mini-med plans before they spent law?
