Another anecdotal bit of fluff that means nothing in the big picture.

Wait till the inrush of new customers tapers off, and the inevitable inflation caused by the profit caps kick in.

If you need me to explain why the profit caps will cause inflation, just ask, and I will explain after work tonight.

Well I agree about competition. Too many states only allow a select few Ins. co. to operate in their state. Deducting ins. premiums from your taxes is also not bad. Actually most of what is posted in your link seems good. Perhaps you care to tell us what you think is bad?

An awful lot of talk in that plan about what Congress should do. Maybe Trump should be running for a congressional seat...
