If it is constitutional to force people to buy a product, it must be constitutional to force companies to offer the product. Just call it a tax.
the companies say they havent been able to enroll enough young and healthy people to offset the high cost of covering sick people.
If Jerry Brown truly cared about Obamacare he could issue an Executive Order TOMORROW mandating that ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES Enroll in and Purchase their own Personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Act Exchange.
He can call it the PEACE Act
The Public Employee Affordable Care Enrollment Act
This would save Hundreds of Millions of TAXPAYER DOLLARS, SAVE OBAMACARE with the New Influx of High Paying Customers.
Sounds like a WIN WIN to me
The Democrats have had no use for the Constitution since the FDR era. Even before then so-called “progressives” didn’t want to live under the Constitution but wanted a government empowered to do whatever political fashion, presumed to be “progressive”, would want of government.
There to no such thing as “no” with progressives.
Neither is there a limit to what progressivism may be deemed to be as the term itself is now fluid, pretty much nothing more than whatever so-called “progressives” want. If they want to murder babies on demand or celebrate perversion or sexual confusion then that’s “progressivism”. When they will finally want to kill Christians or watch people who to not take some mark (to let them buy or sell) loose everything and even starve THAT will be “progressivism”. If Islamists somehow claim the mantle many “progressives” will blindly and slavishly follow that too.
In the end all their “progress” will be is not being what we have been. Change in the name of change and called progress. The only things it will never be is actually Christian...
I don’t get it. Why are they even bothering to call it insurance? What if life insurance operated like this? My heirs can buy a million $ policy after I’m gone! And, frankly, why stop at a million $ policy? They’d bankrupt the “insurer” in one transaction!

“...John Q Public is about to get clobbered again, thanks to a taxpayer bailout of the insurers written into the ObamaCare law.
Section 1342 of the Affordable Care Act forces taxpayers to make insurers whole for most of the losses they incur selling policies on the ObamaCare exchanges through 2016. The bailout is meant to hide the full failure of the presidents signature health law until after the next presidential election.”
“... insurers who opt not to participate in the exchanges cant get bailouts and dont get subsidies for their customers, so you wont have the option of buying from them for long.”
Think about it. If the federal government gave out subsidies to buy only Ford cars and told Ford Motor Co. not to worry about pricing the car, because taxpayers would make up Fords losses, how long do you think Chrysler and Toyota could compete?
“...As any business owner will tell you, a temporary bailout is no substitute for the rule of law. The bailout keeps ObamaCare on life support, at taxpayers expense, while the free market expires and the rule of law disappears.”
Obamacare was always just a stepping stone to single-payer, AKA government monopoly.
This is all according to plan.
Obamacare sucks.
The thing is, so did what we had.
Do not go back to the expensive, spotty, lousy coverage we had before.
What we need is good insurance, for everyone. Reasonably priced, with no removals for conditions.
THAT is what we need. For everyone.
Much of the rest of the world has a good system. Ours sucks now, and it sucked before. Dems are no good at providing coverage for everyone, but Republicans are no better.
We need insurance for everyone.
Everyone.
“For three years now, Americans living with pre-existing, potentially deadly medical conditions have been able to get insurance without fear.”
The chronically ill and those with pre-existing deadly conditions should be very afraid of Obamacare insurance. It is designed to kill them.
I feel bad hearing that the entire SacBee editorial board had fecesbotomies, wherein the tops of their heads were sawn off, their brains scooped out, and replaced with feces...
