President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their Democratic
followers in Congress have a rather draconian message for the private
sector: Speak now, and we'll make you forever hold your peace.

Up until a few weeks ago, America's health insurers were sheepishly on
board with the Obama-Pelosi health care reform plan. Perhaps the
industry feared that voicing any concern about the plan would unleash
the ire of an increasingly rabid Democratic majority on Capitol Hill.
As it turns out, the health insurers were right.

No longer able to sit idly by while the President and his chief minion
in the House amateurishly try to revamp one-sixth of the U.S. economy,
the health insurance industry released a study they commissioned that
analyzes the costs of the Obama-Pelosi plan. The results are quite
sobering. The study shows that "between 2010 and 2019 the cumulative
increases in the cost of a typical family policy under this reform
proposal will be approximately $20,700 more than it would be under the
current system." (Emphasis mine.)

Rather than challenge the study's results on merit, Obama and Pelosi
wasted no time demonizing the health insurance industry with hyperbole
and rhetoric. And then Pelosi lowered the boom, expressing "tremendous
interest" in revoking the industry's decades-old antitrust exemption.
This proved to be no empty threat, as the Democrat-run House Judiciary
Committee promptly passed a bill to do exactly that.
