Health Insurers Willing to Follow Congress

The New York Times reports that "The health insurance industry said Wednesday that it would support a healthcare overhaul requiring insurers to accept all customers, regardless of illness or disability," if Congress requires all Americans to have coverage. Both America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association announced separately their support "for guaranteed coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, in conjunction with an enforceable mandate for individual coverage." Maybe change is coming after all.
