The House first has to pass a special rule in order to bring the Upton bill to the floor. Really?
Minority Leader Pelosi made a very interesting statement in regard to the Upton bill. She stated major health care organizations state the Upton bill is adverse to good outcomes for Americans, including, the American Cancer Society and Lung Association.
Ms. Pelosi also state the Upton bill is masqueraded as a benefit to the American people, and it is viewed in the real world as an adversity to the people.
She also went on to say the Democrats have a bill that would provide freedom to State Insurance Commissioners to investigate price increases and to receive notice of cancellation before letters are sent to the public. The reason for that being if the states are aware of cancellation of policies it can then seek to understand the reasons for the cancellation and act ahead of cancellation to provide options to the people and/or the companies issuing the policies.
I think it is a good point. The letters of cancellation went out to the public causing alarm before it could be reviewed and acted on by any government agency to ease the burden on companies and/or the people. The entire trauma over the cancellation of substandard policies could have been averted with authority to review the reasons for cancellation.
