In the news

This morning on the radio they said that eBay is going to start offering health insurance for people who make their living selling stuff on eBay. I think that's neato, don't you?

Why? It'll just be a way for them to get a commission on the policies they sell. I guarantee that it won't be a true group policy, but will be individual policies sold to members of a group, and will therefore require individual underwriting. Which means 1) some people who want the coverage will be turned down; and 2) premiums will be higher than those for a true group policy.

I think it's not just neato, but full-on neato-torpedo.
