Insuring Resources Commentary:

So what has happened in the three months since health care reform passed Congress and Pres. Obama signed it March 23rd?

Premiums have continued to rise and health care reform rules are slowly taking shape. In the end will the new rules help?

I believe in some ways they will, more people will become insured, young adults will have greater access through their parent's plans, pre-x will be eliminted for children this October and in 2014 for adults.

BUT, will premiums go down? Probably not because the bill does virtually nothing to stem the tide of rising health CARE costs, that's where the price drivers are.

We need incentives for quality and efficiency.
