The insurance industry isn't going to suffer from PPACA, quite the opposite. It sets them up as permanent middle-men in nearly every health care transaction. You really can't do better than mandated customers.
You didn't really just say this?
Lets just start with this....
1) Coverages Mandated
2) Premiums mandated
3)All pre-existings MUST be covered
4) .80 cents of EVERY dollar payed toward claims....
Private insurers are for profit, the law leaves no ROOM for profit.
Educate yourself.
With all due respect you have no idea as to what you are talking about.
You're looking at it from the perspective of a business operating in a free market. With PPACA, the insurance industry has removed itself from such concerns. They are becoming, essentially, public for-profit utilities. The regulations will be adjusted as necessary to preserve that arrangement.
Their acquiescence on "reform" was no coincidence. They saw the writing on the wall. The model of corporate group health insurance is fundamentally dysfunctional and doomed. It's driving prices relentlessly higher and they've bleed the market for all they can. By "collaborating" with government, they get to maintain their dominance (and profits) indefinitely. PPACA is a bailout of the insurance industry.
Who Wrote the PPACA?
