Insurance will be harder to buy and far more expensive. It will force more people into the "public option", which will impact taxes. But maybe that's the intent of government all along - forcing insurers out of the industry as a means of covering up the fact that they are actually stealing the industry from private interests. And when this very poor plan achieves its inevitable failure, the government will immediately blame it on the "greed" of the insurers and enact even more regulations. In thirty years, this could spell a disaster similar to what happened this year in the automobile industry.
