Reporter the president s idea, ask insurers to hold o dropping 5 million iurance policies that ha been cancelled cause they dont cover everything mandated. Required coverage like emergency room visits and Maternity Care and ntal health. They should get the Information Technology hl of fame award. Its just one hell of a mess.
