-———What could possibly go wrong? ———
What if they had a war and nobody came?
What if they gave away healthcare and nobody signed up?
....I have a hunch these counselors, along with the roll out blitz that will commence, could be setting up another massive WH scandal. Left to reason, and choice, NOBODY would sign up for this plan. Yet, it can’t fail. Not yet, at least until proper blame can get attached to others beside the WH.
I think on LA. (I’ve been there several times but confess my vision is based on movies and TV)
I see visions of various racially diverse gang bangers, young guys, and off stage their women and bastards. I just can’t bring myself to believe they will summon the energy to go sign up for health care for which they have no immediate need.
Then there is the underworld, not criminal underworld but illegal alien underworld. I can’t see them making any positive action for something they not only don’t need but can’t possibly understand.
It just doesn’t compute
I plan to sign up for it as early as I can.
I'm currently paying close to $700 per month for insurance. With the subsidies in the plan, my cost would go down to less than $100 per month if I sign up for a silver plan and probably close to $0 if I go with a bronze plan. I'd have to be a damned fool not to sign up for that.
I've seen the stats in the past about the percent of the population that doesn't pay any income taxes. I'd expect that not only nearly all of that group, but a significant percent of the people that DO pay income taxes, would qualify for having the taxpayers cover most of their insurance premiums. (At least those that aren't covered for free already with the expanded Medicaid.)
My expectation is that there will probably be five times as many people signing up for Obamacare than their projections call for.
A lot of employers will be dropping their insurance plans in order to push the cost of providing insurance for their employees over to the government.
