Obamacare Needs 7 Million People Sign Up Or It Goes Under

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - The Affordable Care Act website will be taken down this weekend so experts can try to fix some of the glitches in the system.

The website was unveiled in the beginning of October, and millions of Americans have been struggling to use healthcare.gov to shop for health insurance.

Not only are the users having problems with the system, but health insurance companies have also run into technical glitches.

Insurers say they've only received a handful of applications and they're getting duplicate applications, missing information and data without a time stamp.

As the Democrats produce voters from nothing, so they will create the needed signups to assure ACA succeeds.

From the original article ...

If enough Americans don’t join the exchanges, Obamacare collapses. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the administration needs at least 7 million people to join the exchanges for Obamacare to be financially viable. While the administration won’t reveal sign-up rates, London’s Daily Mail reported that total sign-ups in the first week were just 51,000 people. If accurate, that would mean they have just 6,949,000 more to go to break even.

But this is only the enrollment process.

Wait 'til Obamacare starts scheduling surgeries, tests, procedures.

Wait 'til Obamacare starts checking for drug incompatibilities, dosages, etc.

Wait 'til Obamacare starts doing the real medical stuff.

"We have to pass it so we can find out what is in it." Indeed!

I've had a question in my mind since the first report on the magnitude of the glitch(es) and that is, is it possible that this is sabotage by anti-Obamacare programmers?

Christian healthsharing ministries is the way to go for us.
Somehow, it’s exempt from the requirements of Obamacare, for now.

Probably not but I will guess that will be the Left Wing conspiracy theory for years to come.

No. Obamacare will not go under. The Federal Government will subsidize it. Just put another printing press in the basement of the Treasury Building.

They need to force 7 million people who don’t need health insurance to sign up in order to cover those who need it and can’t/won’t pay for it.

I doubt they will have trouble doing that. I work for a BIG (Fortune 100) company, and we have just been told that we should consider getting our HC through the exchange in 2014, because in 2015 they will only offer HC to overseas employees and union members. The rest of us will be thrown to the exchanges whether we like it or not.

If my company is doing it, a LOT of companies are going to do it.
