It probably was insurance companies that got up in arms about it rather than voters since insurance companies are incentivized to silo their clients as much as they can. Also insurance companies are the ones who have actual say in the matter of writing the law compared to the voters.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoI remember people being pissed off their premiums went up because people with pre existing conditions and pregnancy and whatnot had to be covered now. People are still pissed off about having to pay increased premiums so more people can get more healthcare. Insurance companies, by statute, can earn up to 15% to 20% of healthcare expenses they pay for, so increasing the population they cover is in their interest.
