I can't believe I missed this story yesterday:
The Obama administration has already sent a sternly-worded letter to Anthem Blue Cross over the company's excessive rate increase for individual policy holders in California. How excessive? Up to 39 percent. But that's not all. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield also informed their customers that they are changing their practice of adjusting rates annually, and as of now are reserving the right to raise premiums basically whenever they feel like it.
Here's the thing, though. How about passing healthcare reform now? Sternly worded letters are fantastic, but they're toothless unless there's legislation to "strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger."
