Hey insurers, welcome to the world of the productive taxpayer, whose return is about 1 penny on the dollar while his neighbor on ‘disability’ plays golf and mows his lawn.
death spiral.
At the hardware store there are fine thread screws and coarse thread screws. Obamacare is a coarse screw.
13 cents on the dollar? That’s an ROI any business can live with. After all, healthcare should be free right?
OK, now I understand. When Obamacare goes under, it will all be the Republicans fault.
Only Democrats are stupid enough to think that a government with over $100 TRILLION in liabilities that will end in the nation’s bankruptcy would be competent enough to run the nation’s health care. If our education system taught students how an economy works, it would cut down on Democrat voters.
Then the report about "solid growth" a month ago was a lie. You don't go from "solid growth" to "we may be pulling out of this mess..." in a month's time.
They’re just making noise so they can get more rate increases.... I have these guys as my health insurance on my individual plan (wife and I). We’re not in the Obamacare network.
Has anyone else noticed the change in Bo’s demeanor? I notice a change as even his coddling
press has begun to challenge him on his blatant disregard
of the muzzie danger. He has gone from arrogant smugness
to overt anger. Look at his eyes and hear his clipped voice.
He is more dangerous than ever. He reminds me of Hitler
when the war began to turn against him. How can this be
happening to ME?
Isn’t United AARP? AARP can be credited with bringing us obamacare in the first place. Without AARP’s heavy expense and propaganda some of those Democrat Senators might not have voted for it. Why is AARP trying to get us Single Payer now? Is AARP in position to be the Single Provider?
I appreciate all the comments, but it’s over.
There’s nothing to do any more. What existed before Obamacare has been destroyed. It’s gone and it’s not coming back.
The insurance companies were set up by a scorpion who offered them a ride across the river. They’re about to drown.
There’s only one payer with the resources and the computational power to pay for “value based, evidence driven” medical care scored by electronic records and whose value in dollars is set nationally.
Forward!
Trump single-payer will make sure corporations are okay, because sucking wealth for the favored few is what he thinks government is for.
To hear HHS & other Obamacare supporters try to spin United's statement as 'no big deal' and insurance companies will rotate in and out of the market & this was only a small chunk of the market ... and on and on is laughable. This is a huge deal. Obamacare is terminally ill because its business insurance model does not work.
When will the denial, over the real shape Obamacare is in, end?
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Urban Institute findings have now given additional credibility to the very same conclusion many of us have been trying to make since the Obamacare launch: The Obama administration has NOT been so successful in enrolling those eligible--they've got more than 60% of the group remaining!
If the Obama administration signs up the 10 million they are estimating they will sign-up during the current open enrollment, based upon the historic number that are subsidy eligible, they will have less than the 9 million of the 24 million RWJF and UI estimate are in the potential exchange subsidy market - just a 38% success rate. And, that is nowhere near where they will have to be to make these risk pools sustainable for the insurance companies or politically sustainable in the country.
Or keep the likes of UnitedHealth Group in the program.
Am I mistaken that this UnitedHealthCare is closely associated with AARP, which lobbied with the halfrican FOR nobamacare?
Pay out just 13 cents of each dollar!
The only way to make money is to cut back healthcare.
The British and Canadians and other socialist countries do so with thousand dying that could have lived if given immediate healthcare. People who could get their knees or hips replaced are forced into a wheelchair while waiting and waiting for a doctors appointment.
The Daily Mail in the UK has had many stories on the horrendous conditions in the hospitals there and the death lists that have killed over 130,000 people per year.
YOU will be killed by the democrats to A) save “gov’t” money and B) because you are a conservative.
Top doctor’s chilling claim: The NHS kills off 130,000 elderly patients every year

As I recall the idiot insurance companies for the most part supported nobamacare. Lots of laughs now, no?
