Were pleased to see such a strong response of lies, said Kitty Sillybus, the secretary of excuses. Among young adults, the momentum is momentous.

Nearly 80 percent of those who selected a plan qualified for federal subsidies to reduce their premiums, officials said. The reason it isn't 100%, is that some states require everybody to go through the exchange if they do not have employer coverage.

...People signing up for health insurance... Signing up does not mean PAID. This administration is the most fraudulent in history, and the idiots in the media let them get away with the fraud.

For some reason, I initially read the title as "Health Care Plans Attracting Older, Less Friendly People.

And I think most are medicaid plans where they wont be contributiong any premium dollars. Lots of new Expanded Medicaid enrollees, true, but their funding source is entirely separate from the exchange policies (much of the funding is coming from cuts to Medicare Advantage and other programs). So, in other words, people buying policies on the exchanges are not the same people paying to subsidize the E.M. enrollees.

Signing up does not mean PAID.It also doesn't meant COVERED. It just means you're on a database.

These reports are from the Old Gray Hag therefore it is propaganda in its purest form.

Right now there is no way to collect the penalties except by taking them from tax refunds. And there are no criminal charges for not paying the penalties.

I had to check to see if this was satire. Sadly, it’s not.

Adverse Selection was always the probable outcome which is why the ACA apparently protects the insurance companies from it. Taxpayers get the bill for this of course.

Repeat after me, stupid liberals. Access does not mean health care. Access does not mean health care. Access does not mean health care. Access does not mean health care. The communists promised access to free health care and jobs for every man — and wound up delivering nothing at all.
Access is a lie and falsehood.

Besides Pajama Boy, I’m not aware of young adults lining up en mass to send $300/month on a plan with over $6K in deductibles and double that deductible for out of network care.

The penalties are low....for the first couple of years.
After that, the fine becomes CRUSHING.
