This also exists in the auto insurance industry. I live half the year in Arizona and have a motorcycle that I leave there all year. I have to have Arizona license plates, and I have to purchase insurance in Arizona, even though I have coverage on all my cars in Illinois. AZ will not accept the Illinois Insurance card, and will cancel the registration if the insurance card does not read Arizona across the top. I originally didn't think it was fair, until I found the rate to be less than half of what I paid in Illinois, and in Arizona I can ride all year, no snow, ice or stuff like that unless I go North toward Flagstaff. Time will tell if the health insurance coverage will be cost effective in all states. For some reason, people don't think about the fact we have to insure our vehicles, but don't want to insure themselves and are unhappy the Federal gov't says we have to. The other side, the State gov't says we have to have car insurance. Who's right or more accurate?

It's not that artists, photographers, et al. will lose insurance, they may have to change their insurance. And, if they feel they would be better served by their current insurance plans, they should contact their Congressional representatives and ask that the law be changed. Maybe the Republicans in the House could propose a useful amendment instead of voting to repeal ACA for the 41st time.

RMM,

Don't bother trying to correct these posts.

All you're doing is confusing the issue with the facts.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you know, tax anybody's intellectual capacities.

And now, back to our regular programming.
