州的保險(xiǎn)監(jiān)管部門措手不及,它們表示不打算允許保險(xiǎn)公司恢復(fù)那些保險(xiǎn)計(jì)劃。保險(xiǎn)業(yè)界似乎也對(duì)奧巴馬宣布的舉措反應(yīng)冷淡。行業(yè)組織美國(guó)醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)計(jì)劃(America’sHealthInsurancePlans)的負(fù)責(zé)人凱倫·M·伊尼亞尼(KarenM.Ignagni)說,“在醫(yī)保方案都已經(jīng)達(dá)到法律要求的情況下,再改變規(guī)則,可能會(huì)擾亂市場(chǎng),導(dǎo)致消費(fèi)者需要繳納更高保費(fèi)?!薄拔磥硪荒甑谋YM(fèi)已經(jīng)制定好了,依據(jù)是對(duì)消費(fèi)者何時(shí)會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)移到新市場(chǎng)的預(yù)期,”她說?!叭绻F(xiàn)在比較年輕、
