The insurance companies will pass along those costs to their business clients who will, in turn, pass along those costs to consumers. This was not a big part of the conversation prior to the bill's passage because of the way it was sold. The new rules cost money.

The term "grandfather clause" in its current application refers to a legislative provision that permits an exemption based upon a pre-existing condition.

The fact that the above definition of the term "grandfather clause" rests upon pre-existing conditions and health insurance contracts often refer to pre-exisiting conditions (reform wise and otherwise), your post provides a most curious intersection.

The reason for all of the talk of grandfathering is that the President campaigned during the year before the final vote that if you liked your current plan, you could keep it. Clearly that isn't true. And that is the whole point. Definately a different view of this.

If the government believes there is something seriously wrong with health care policies as they currently stand, why is anyone even TALKING about grandfathering ANYTHING? You can't affect change if anything or everything is exempt from the new rules. I'm confused.
