Obama worshippers believe he is exceedingly smart, but how can someone (BHO) think that if an insurance company cannot turn down someone with a preexisting condition that insurance premiums will go down? Anyone who thinks that is not intelligent regardless of how many college degrees they have.

I don't claim to be an actuary, but would it be a good analogy to say that would be like having someone write a life insurance policy for a 65-year-old smoker as if they were a 25-year-old nonsmoker?

Yes, it would. And the way Obummacare will work is that there will be no incentive for some people to take care of themselves. Aning for it. And they rest of us will be be paying for it.

I just want to know how exactly they are going to arrest people who refuse to buy insurance? For instance, there are people in downtown Seattle known as “homeless.” Are they going to get arrested? Because even with the “subsidy” (where the government takes your money to help pay their premium), no way those folks are going to have “health insurance.”
