NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A study of the new health care reform law has some winning, and some losing.
That's according to a new report from Blue Cross Blue Shield. The company commissioned a report to see who would benefit.
The winners are the economically disadvantaged, and some businesses. The businesses, according to the report, will experience an initial financial gain because they will be able to shift their workers to a state-provided insurance.
The Losers, as the report calls them, are those who already have health insurance, who will see longer waits, and some price increases.
The report complains about the costs placed on insurance companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield; however, most other analysts have pointed to the Affordable Health Care act as beneficial to the companies, bringing them many more customers.
