limitations on the profits of the insurance company already has resulted in $1.1 billion in premiums returned. I have been involved in obtaining health insurance for my firm for the last several years and the concerns about skyrocketing insurance costs as a result of Obamacare have been greatly exaggerated. What remains the largest driver is your claims history. We need to get overall costs of healthcare down and that's a bigger discussion than just health insurance, but unquestionably the fact that hospitals eat the costs of uninsured patients drives up overall costs to cover that loss.
