According to ATR, with only 8,592 enrollees, the state spent $23,899 on each individual.

You Freepers shouldn't complain ... cause it's only money ... and as taxpayers you have plenty more that you would be glad to give up if you weren't so selfish!

That is awesome! If the Supremes do their job, Hawaii will lose the taxpayers subsidies, along with at least 36 other states. This could kill that terrible law before Obamacare kills all of us.

Oh, I don’t know. I’m sure the Republicans can draft and pass legislation to allow subsidies and keep obamadoesnotcare.

The poor never wanted insurance - they wanted health care. Very different...

As I posted on the thread two days ago, it's likely that Obama needed Hawaii to set up a state exchange to counter the optics of the Republican states that opted out.
It may be that Hawaii didn't need it, but Obama desperately needed his home state to not reject it.

With all the money they blew on these failed web sites, they could have funded Amtrak for 20 years (or more).

“.....before Obamacare kills all of us.” He will find another way. Obama's primary plan kills us as soon as Iran has enough functional nukes. I'm just hoping to cancel Barack the First's backup plan, in case Israel saves the western world.
