No, they won't. If the insurers can't make money here they will leave the state. We'll then be stuck paying more to no name insurance companies that don't operate anywhere else because they won't have the ability to control costs like the big networks do.

Idk. Delta Dental of MA is what was on my mind. I'm not sure how they could leave, considering MA is in their name, and they pretty much operate in every other state. These companies will still profit -- just not as much as they'd like. We also passed a similar law for health insurance, but the big ones (BCBS, Tufts/Point32) are still around.
And if the CEO of Delta Dental MA, for example, makes $5M a year, I doubt having to pay an additional $160k in taxes is a big enough deal to move.

The best thing that could happen to the people of a state is for Delta Dental to stop existing in it

Dental insurance is a racket; I’m a DSO people pay monthly for useless policies that restrict their dental health… I could sit here all day listing off why having any monthly fee policy is simply clever smoke screen garbage.. And if you have the HMO plan then you may as well not go to a dentist at all if you can find one that will take a plan that pays a max of $1.50 to perform procedures on a patient.
