What the Senate Dems didn't tell us.

Today it turns out that a salient feature of what was promised ( that insurance couldn't be terminated for those with an illness ) was eliminated through a loophole inserted behind closed doors. That is, although insurance is not supposed to be cancelable in event of illness, and the lifetime limits on payments were supposed to be eliminated, AN ANNUAL LIMIT ON PAYMENTS WAS INCLUDED. Thus, if someone is stricken with a serious and expensive illness, payments during a given year can be capped! This effectively terminates insurance for that year.
This was ostensibly done to prevent premiums from rising too much!! That is, the Senators quietly conceded that actuarial truths cannot be eliminated by Congressional fiat but chose to hide the fact from the taxpayers/voters. When this was discovered, and attacked by such as the American Cancer Society, Senate Democrats "promised" to close the loophole.What else remains to be "discovered?"
First of all, what are their promises worth? Second, why do they promise to close loopholes only after they have been discovered and made public? What does that portend for a bill that is several THOUSAND pages long and hidden from both the public and Senate Republicans? Having already confirmed the nature of their ethics, it is impossible to accept passage of a bill that long and complex based on "trust me" as the guarantee.
