There are no positives to “Obamacare”. It’s a power grab and that’s all it is. It has nothing to do with healthcare.
Herman Kahn would be proud to know what his former employer is studying.
Deluding himself about Obamacare?? Or Deluding himself that he’s a JOURNALIST?
I’m leaning toward BOTH.
” The smart folks at RAND — an actual real-life think tank, as opposed to an ideological group masquerading under the think-tank name “
“Our” think-tanks - much like ‘our’ msm - are always wise and neutral — whereas ‘yours’ are profoundly biased......

Screams of idiocy. The current health care reform act will wipe out employer based insurance. It is cheaper for companies to pay the fine than provide the insurance.
Just so y’all know, I think this is refering to RAND Corportation, which doesn’t appear to have any philosophical ties to Ayn Rand or the Ayn Rand institute, www.aynrand.org .
I’m sure that’s pretty obvious, but someone will undoubtedly think otherwise.
Yeah, and I prefer John Stewarts journalism ethic too....Most libtards think if its in the NY Times, its TRUUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!! And if one of their thinks pukes it out, then its gospel. Secular-Humanist gospel that is.
RAND Corporation (Research ANd Development[2]) is a nonprofit global policy think tank first formed to offer research and analysis to the United States armed forces by Douglas Aircraft Company. It is currently financed by the U.S. government, a private endowment,[3] corporations [4] including the healthcare industry, universities[5] and private individuals.It's seems to me like they could have a conflict of interest.
My daughter worked for Rand Corp. She was involved in end-of-life issues. She reported to the wife of Americans United for Separation of Church and State”s Rev Barry Lynn.
• Th e estimated $753 billion cumulative increase in personal health spending between 2010 and 2019 represents an increase of 3.3% over the status quo projection.
• Between 2010 and 2019, cumulative federal spending on subsidies for those who obtain insurance through the Exchange would be $445 billion. Approximately 53% of the 25 million people purchasing insurance through the Exchange in 2019 would receive a federal subsidy.
• Medicaid spending is projected to increase by $559 billion between 2010 and 2019, a 21% increase over the projected trend in the status quo.
• Penalty payments for those not complying with the mandates would total $75 billion from individuals and $108 billion from employers between 2013 and 2019.
• We project that, in 2019, average insurance premiums in the large group (employer) market will be at least 2% lower than projected in the status quo.
• We project some increase in insurance premiums for the most common nongroup policies. The increase is higher in the first few years after the reform (8%) and becomes negligible by 2019, with an average increase over the whole period of about 4%. When the market stabilizes (2016–2019), the premiums will be about 2% higher than would have been observed in the nongroup market without the policy change. The presence of subsidies will further soften the effect of this increase on the population.
