Hi I need help determining the significance and impact of this story from fox news

Nancy Pelosi defended her rhetoric leading up to a passage of the 2010 health care law while seeking to minimize the reports to unrest in her caucus and the potential for political fallout in the wake of the law’s rocky rollout. She told anchor David Gregory that she stands by what she said responding to two old interviews – one from 2009 and the other from 2010- where she said that if individuals liked their existing health insurance policies, they could keep them and that the Affordable Care Act needs to pass in order for the public to see what’s in the bill. ‘Special Report’ host Bret Baier weighs in saying that if the equation is not right for people signing up for Obama care even if you get seven million people signing up in March, the percentage of young healthy people as compared to older sicker people who use health insurance more, will affect how the premiums are devised. Baier says, “Just a couple months before the next election you will have insurance companies doing their equations and putting out new premiums. There will be a new equation that develops if the number of young healthy people does not materialize, and those higher premiums will come out just before election of 2014.”

I don't think this story has much significance or impact. It quotes from two-year-old interviews and attempts to predict the future. It just fills air time and panders to the health-care bill's opponents.

Thanks Ms.Sue. would you say it seems bias because it's from a republicans point of view?

Yes.

You're welcome.

The significance and impact of this story from Fox News is that it highlights the controversy and potential political fallout surrounding Nancy Pelosi's defense of her rhetoric leading up to the passage of the 2010 health care law. Pelosi, in two old interviews, had stated that individuals could keep their existing health insurance policies if they liked them and that the Affordable Care Act needed to pass for the public to see what's in the bill.

The concern raised by anchor David Gregory and echoed by "Special Report" host Bret Baier is that if the number of young and healthy people signing up for the Affordable Care Act (often referred to as Obamacare) is not sufficient, it could impact the premiums for health insurance. This is because younger and healthier individuals generally utilize less health insurance compared to older and sicker individuals. If the equation is skewed towards more older and sicker individuals, it may lead to higher premiums.

Baier suggests that if the number of young healthy people signing up for Obamacare does not meet expectations, insurance companies will need to recalculate their equations and potentially raise premiums. He predicts that these higher premiums could be released just before the 2014 election.

The significance of this story lies in the potential consequences of the rocky rollout of the Affordable Care Act, particularly if the demographic mix of enrollees does not meet the desired balance. It highlights the political ramifications of the law and the potential impact it may have on future elections.
