i would suggest they shop all of the new insurance options before deeming they'll need to choose between their mortgage or insurance. while it's true some people will have to pay more for coverage many more who have received such notices don't realize they qualify for subsidies to lower the cost of thier coverage or that less expensive options are available to them.
i have a sister in il and nieces in los angeles who complain that their health insurance costs are tripling. they are all responsible hardworking people who have never had to take government subsidies and always paid their own ways. they now must choose between healthcare fines and mortgage payments. is this the healthcare reform i voted for? can insurance companies charge multiple premiums - unregulated?
