I really wish Congress<\/a> was required to read all the laws it passes before it passes them. That might have avoided some problems, although most of ObamaCare<\/a> was not yet written when it was passed.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the impact ObamaCare will have on competition in the healthcare insurance industry<\/a> in North Carolina<\/a>. As it is currently being implemented, ObamaCare will create a healthcare insurance<\/a> monopoly in North Carolina.<\/p>\n
