American Health Insurance Plans

American Health Insurance Plans issued a statement Aug. 4, blasting a government-run health care program. President Obama's health care reform bill would "inevitably rely on its price-setting ability to offer artificially low premiums -- effectively subsidized by the private sector through cost shifting," AHIP said in its statement. "This would force employers to drop their coverage, creating a death spiral for private insurance and financial catastrophe for many hospitals and doctors."
