[quote=briansd1]Company A likely pays more than Company B.

That’s the nature of the private market.

Older people cost more and pay more. Thus the older employees get compensated higher by their employers who pay higher health insurance premiums.

However, under the new legislation, with insurance exchanges that employers could join, Company A would pay the same as Company B.

This Health Care Bill creates a level playing field.[/quote]

Can you please explain to me how, in the absence of a government sponsored health insurance, participation in an insurance exchange by company A would guarantee it would be able to find an identical group policy to company B at the same price?
