It’s all going according to plan. Single payer will be here before you know it. The GOP will do all they can behind the scenes to help.

My friend in California tried signing up for healthcare last week...gave ALL her info...now they want a certified copy if her birth certificate or Passport..they don’t think she is a citizen (she is) and they don’t think she is an “immigrant” either. Sounds to me like they are doing everything possible to make things NOT work.

the Affordable Care Act creates so many incentives for enrollees to drop their coverage that maintaining those enrollment numbers may start to resemble something like pushing millions of people up a greased poll

One - it's "pole".
Two - they've already solved this little problem by not providing a way to cancel.

“Obamacare even more dramatically reduces the downside of going uninsured. For example, suppose the day after you cancel your health insurance, you receive a serious diagnosis like diabetes, or cancer. Pre-Obamacare, you would not be able to buy coverage for that illness. Under Obamacare, however, insurers are required to cover you at the same premium they charged when you were healthy. You may have to wait until January for that coverage to take effect, but even so the downside risk of going uninsured is much smaller.

And in many cases, you can get coverage before January.

There are even ways to enroll in Obamacare coverage immediately:
•If you live in one of the 25 or so states implementing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion, you can get coverage immediately by reducing your income below 138 percent of the federal poverty level ($16,102 for a single adult). You can then restore your income when you enroll in an exchange plan in January — or even earlier, depending on how often your state verifies eligibility.
•If you don’t live in a Medicaid-expansion state, you can move to one, as this Idaho family did.
•If you’re pregnant, you can use one of these Medicaid options for immediate prenatal care, and/or enroll in exchange coverage effective the day your child is born.”

Severely reducing and bringing one’s income back up isn’t something that can be done by most people, so the opportunity for gaming the system here is very small. Pregnant mothers should be able to get insurance coverage whenever they need it, for the sake of the baby. Both of these arguments fall flat. There are many things wrong with Obamacare, but these two are weak arguments against it.

Why use a government exchange for insurance when you can go with a christian based insurance system.
