Washington (AP) – The head of the Health and Human Services Department is sketching out a stark choice for the nation’s insurers: oppose reform and eventually lose customers, or work with the Obama administration to improve the legislation.
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told health insurers Wednesday that if overhaul fails, premiums will continue to rise and employers will cancel coverage. She said the industry may make money in the short term, but it won’t work for Americans and it eventually won’t help insurers.
Sebelius urged the insurers to help create a sustainable market where all Americans could buy coverage. She said they should spend the millions that might go to attack ads on reducing the cost of premiums.

Yes there will sometime come the deminishing returns as the price of health care goes up. The question is what in the 2000 pages will actually not cause the costs to rise faster than inflation? Why will the 30 million not be able to benefit until 2014? And why does NPR and other organizations that are not right wing say that over 50% of those without insurance could get medicare or medicaid but are either to stupid or lazy to get it?
