It makes me wonder if the insurance hikes we've seen across the board lately isn't a way of helping Obama make his case - and therefore help the insurance cabal to a law forcing us to fork over cash. Blue Cross hit Virginia with a 20% increase, on the heels of California's 39% increase.

12 other states have seen double digit increases this year. Logic would dictate that health insurers should not be playing the bad guy at the moment an allegedly anti-insurer bill is being debated nationwide. Unless, of course, they need to give their man in the White House cover. What's a few weeks of bad press when billions are on the way?
