I would guess that a lot of people have the same “subsidy” they had before, but it used to be called a tax credit and now they just pay less up-front.
“A vast amount of federal spending is at stake in the decision – about $2 billion per month, according to the new figures.”
Paid for by our Chinese credit card and the round-the-clock printing press?
Ah, what difference does it make? Let some future Generation Out-of-Luck pay for it. I’ll gladly pay you in 2092 for vote buying today.
The Obamacare numbers still cannot be believed .... see the very last sentence.

Back Room Problems Persist
The original expectations for Obamacare extend beyond the enrollment.
The administration spent $2.2 billion on developing and fixing Healthcare.gov.
But 17 months after its original launch––and five years after the law passed––the backroom still has not been completely built.
There are now about 7 million people receiving health insurance premium subsidies in the federally run exchanges. But HealthCare.gov can’t pay the insurance companies. Insurers are still getting paid based upon a workaround that involves them manually filling out worksheets––for 7 million people. There is no formal date for when this will be fixed.
HealthCare.gov also can’t reconcile the cost sharing subsidies the lowest income people get form Obamacare––like lower deductibles and co-pays.
This lack of an automated enrollment process not only causes lots of headaches but also makes the enrollment numbers the administration is reporting awfully soft. One carrier told me they only ended up with half of the net January enrollments HealthCare.gov originally reported to them.
More and more people riding in the cart,
and fewer and fewer people pushing the cart.
So who is smarter? Those who get free stuff or those who work their azz off to pay for the free stuff for others?
The uncovering of the dirty Traffickers called “insurance companies”-banks, selling body mortgages.
Dirty trafficking
If the measuring stick of the Obamunists was truly the negative impacts on a certain number of people, then they’d have never passed it to begin with. At 7.7m who might “lose” these illegal subsidies, they’re still well short of the number who found out that hard way about the “if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance” lie. Many millions more were forced out of their plans, and into plans with higher premiums, higher deductibles, and unneeded coverages.

$2 Billion a month for healthcare Nationwide, Chump Change! Los Angeles County spends $1 Billion dollars a MONTH just to Service Illegal Aliens, not including the other 1/2 of the population on Government Assistance of one sort or another.
