As insurance companies are the ones who set their own rates, why are they so sure that health care reform will cause rates to rise?  There is no federal regulation of insurance rates (or anti-trust legislation for them, for that matter) so rates rise really when the companies want them to.

Or maybe it's because they won't be able to say anesthesia

Actually, in regards to the arbitration, our company has just dismissed our requirement for arbitration because it is too expensive. I think we wills still work with an employee if they want it, but on the whole it apparently costs us more in arbitration than it does if we let the case go to court. Sad, huh?

Huh- that's interesting. I remember having a conversation with my dad about this, and him saying that it was a lot cheaper for his company to go through arbitration. That was a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed. Or maybe it depends on the industry. No idea. hmm. must think.
