'can also regulate (or negotiate) premiums' is not a mandate to do so or hold down costs for the already insured. The majority of companies, including medical device manufactures, have all stated they intend to pass any costs or increased taxation on to the consumers and insured. The difference between the Hose version and the Senate version is huge with the difference between state based exchanges and a nationally based exchange is significant.

In the end there is very little in the new bill that will hold down costs or control costs to the already insured. The insurance companies are happy with the compromise as they gain 30 million new sources of income, paid by the individual or paid for by the taxpayers, matters not to them. 10 million dollars is pissing in the wind for insurance companies, sort of like that BS number of how many jobs the current Congress has created with their whorish spending and artifically proping up the economy.
