It is obvious who wants it.  The insurance companies want the government to pay all their expenses plus their profit margins.  They don't care about sicker individuals having to pay more because they have been charging them more since insurance companies began.  Why do good drivers pay less than bad drivers?  Why do life insurance companies charge less for younger people? If the government would cover their costs, auto insurers would sell policies to drunk drivers and life insurance companies would sell 1 million dollar policies to 85 year old men, for cheap.  We saw what happened when the government guaranteed home loans to anyone with a pulse.  

Senator Cruz's addition to the bill returns a small portion of the free choice Americans used to enjoy. The insurance companies would have to compete for business and have lower profit margins. Is it any surprise that they want Uncle Sam paying bills for an ever expanding captive market?  

Just repeal this stinking Socialist boondoggle.
