While costs of HC will continue to rise regardless of this bogus law. They didnt do one thing to stem the costs of HC. The only thing they did is act like a bunch of nazis and demand that all people will have to own health insurance or get a fine. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/168747</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/168747</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr. T]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 18 Apr 2010 05:09:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Repetitive alarming trends in the HC bill.
