forget it ain't going to happen. Got a hunch some Red States cancel coverage and replace it with some POS scheme paid for by the individuals and a mega deductible. The state to watch will be Utah,the Leavitt family controls most of the Insurance Under writing and Sales in Utah. If some type of crap is to appear it will in Utah. Previous attempts floundered once the real details started to surface.
