Contrary to what you are hearing or reading , it will NOT cost billions and billions to repeal the Healthcare reform bill. This is unfortunately mis-information meant to undermine the Republican controlled congress' efforts. However, the greatest failure of the bill is that it will add to Healthcare costs.
Healthcare needed to be reformed and made more available however what the people of this nation are upset about is not the reform itself but the idea that it literally comes with a 'bill' that they will have to pay for.
The Presidents great task is now to reduce the impact of these costs and thus paint the reform in a brighter light......stay tuned folks!

Health Insurance Costs to increase by 25-30% in 2011!
Look out CFO's!
Already spiraling healthcare costs are sure to get worse as the insurance industry 'adjusts' or 'anticipates' the repercussions of healthcare reform.
Already broker transparacency - as imposed by the insurance carriers - has brokers panicing over how to stay competitive when they must now reveal their compensation levels.
Is this the pre-emptive salvo being fired by the carriers to placate the masses (you) as they come under criticism by pushing it back on to the broker?
