Digby and K-Thug wrote the same post today. Different results

Digby says the rates will go up.

According to the hostile analyst, Obamacare will hike rates because of added regulations and mandates. According to the supporter, Obamacare will hike rates because it makes the system more fair and offers better coverage. It's simply different interpretations of the same thing --- you'll notice that both agree that rates will be hiked.

K-Thug, not so much

But to cut to the chase, Roy claims that Obamacare will cause soaring insurance rates, using a comparison that is completely fraudulent — and I say fraudulent, not wrong, because he is indeed enough of a policy wonk here to know that he is pulling a fast one.

Digby as usual, is a wordy, vaguely narcissistic, righteous in a pissy way and frequently misses the forest for the trees.  Case in point, the larger pool of people the less risk and lower the rates.
