Ever heard of self insuring? With Obamacare it would be smart to self insure since you cannot buy real insurance but are forced to underwrite the healthcare of others. Wait until you’re really sick, then buy health insurance. Bammy’s plan is nothing more than a ponzi scheme, why invest in it?

RE : 12.4 Million uninsured upper and middle class.

Let’s have a realistic ( instead of mythical ) estimate of the number of uninsured CITIZENS ( emphasis ) in this country. How many are there anyway ? I’ve heard figures going from 30 million to 45 million. Such a wide disparity of estimates !!
