[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]
Unless I misunderstand what you’re saying here, I’m pretty sure you’re not right here Brian. Company A & Company B would have access to the same policies and acess to the same rate schedules. In that regard there will be a level playing field. They would not, however, pay the same rates. Insurance can still be age rated. Insurance for 60 year olds will stil be more expensive than insurance for 20 year olds.
