So we turned our health care industry upside-down for this?

They will have low enrollment because for the first time many low-information voters will realize they HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING. I work with an Obama voter who was under the impression that he was going to get an “ObamaCare Health Insurance” ID card that was merely another perk paid for by white people; when I explained how it worked (buy insurance or pay a penalty) his face fell. I don’t know whether or not he believed me about the coerced buying or fine, but he had no doubt there was no free health insurance card in the mail...

I keep thinking the same thing. They tried to remove a bug splat from the windshield and have ruined the whole car.

I don't understand this: The exchanges allow consumers to comparison-shop for health insurance policies in online marketplaces, which were designed to give consumers collective bargaining power that will foster competition and drive down prices.

Didn't every state already have a regulated market for insurance? Was there something that prevented consumers from doing their own independent comparison shopping among alternative policies?

To err is human, but to really screw things up requires a design committee of bureaucrats.

What happens when someone buys their insurance in one state, but spends a lot of their time in another? There are going to have to be all kinds of provisions for when one gets sick away from home.

Let's say hypothetically one is stuck in a state with lousy medical care. What's to stop them from going somewhere else with better medical care and showing up at that emergency ward because they're "on vacation"?

I can just see a whole lot of low-income, low-health invaders showing up in the elite's local hospitals for medical care and Obamacare covering it.

Why should young kids with no employment prospects sign up for govt healthcare if they can stay on their parents plan?

Obamacare has more holes than a strainer and the free lunch crowd is in for a big surprise. Pay up, Suckers.

This is why the commie ‘RATS are so desperate to have the “rebranded” RINOs pass an amnesty scheme. The illegal aliens are needed to save ObamaCare.

The only sane applicants will be those Americans with incomes beneath whatever arbitrary figure the Obamanites establish so that their ‘premiums’ are subsidized (in English, they pay very little or nothing).

Our Soviet class is counting on productive members of society signing up so they can hitch them to pull the Affordable Care act wagon.
