no i don't agree

In USA the insurance market is organized and regulated by the state. Some places are serviced by only 1 or 2 companies. Group insurance will reduce the total cost, because employer can negotiate a good bargain. Individual buyer can never get such price when dealing with the insurance company.

 

This is the reason I think Obama's plan might fail to reduce the cost.
