I was unaware that the health reform that passed created a more powerful consumer market. Lack of preexisting conditions banning means you can get individual insurance, but most people would opt to get it through an employer for cost reasons -- no?
The measure to create a consumer market -- shifting tax benefits to individuals not corporations -- never was introduced.
(I could be wrong. After 50,000 iterations, I don't think anyone knows what passed.)
