Are higher prices hor healthcare insurance a good thing?

The latest argument being rolled out by the supporters of ObamaCare is that, yes, it will doubtless increase premiums for many--even drastically so--but that this is really a good thing.

From Forbes magazine:

Well, its been an interesting week in health care land. For a while now, independent analystsand conservative criticshave raised concerns that Obamacare will dramatically increase the cost of individually-purchased health insurance for healthier people. This would, of course, contradict President Obamas promises that if you like your plan, you can keep it and that the cost of insurance would go down by $2,500 per family per year. Whats new is that liberal columnists, facing reality, are conceding that premiums will go up for most people in the individual market. But theyre justifying it by saying that rate shock will help a tiny minority of people who cant get insurance today. If they had said that in 2009, would Obamacare have passed?
