How does the funding work? Isn’t it the insurers who are going to take it in the shorts if not enough people sign up? The people actually signing up are more likely to be all the ones with severe health problems who maybe couldn’t get good or cheap insurance before. Isn’t it the insurers who need the young, healthy people to sign up to defray the costs of coverage for the sick ones?

I thought the Obamacare subsidies were funded through the individual mandate tax, medical device tax and other taxes which all take place even if no one signs up.

The ones signing up are the ones who will find Obamacare cheaper than the alternatives. This will result in Obamacare experiencing skyrocketing costs.

The Republicans need to hold the line as all the ugliness of Obamacare comes to light.

You’re right about the insurances taking the hit. The next step is insolvency. And that is the progressives’ plan.
