At the American Spectator, Peter Ferrara warns of "The Coming Obamacare Bailout" due to the refusal of healthy people to enroll in the exchanges. Republicans should demand instead that the regulations causing current plans to be discontinued be lifted.

I am an insurance agent. I am conflicted here.
The Federal Government ABOLISHED the “High Risk Pools” which existed, in some form, in every State of the Union prior to Obamacare.
I think the long term answer is to “keep” Obamacare as a National High Risk Pool, ONLY!
-— And let the rest of us go back to normal, old fashioned, medically underwritten health insurance.

Obamacare abolished the State Programs. The Federal Government, unfortunately, must now “fix” that problem.

Having said that, many of the people that I assistd with the State “HIgh Risk Pool” needed that service due to no fault of their own, the COBRA ran out, etc. However, MANY were alos irresponsible people who thought they were “bulletproof” and then demanded coverage AFTER they got sick.

No plan can change human nature. That is the biggest problem with Obamacare, as it attempts to change human behavior.

However, let us be realistic about our “end game” here. Allow Obamacare to “survive” as a National High Risk Pool. Eliminate the mandates and penalties for the rest of us who are healthy.

And by the way: The Courts might well be on the way to doing this at the Federal Exchange level.

“Buyers”. Sure. More like freeloaders I would bet.

Free stuff sells! Who knew?

As Jim Kuntlser noted yesterday in his weekly blog entry, O’care is merely the libtards last gasp at grift.

[Personal Responsibility]

Wait...young people who don’t have the money to buy health insurance aren’t buying it?

NO WAY! WHODASAWDATCOMIN!

Folks under 50 who have to decide between a housing/rent payment and an insurance premium. Which do you think they will choose?

[bert]

Young women tend to seek consensus among them selves. They act in bevies. They don’t think for them selves.

Those that are uninsured and lost their policies will react in fear and form a consensus. If that groupthink says don’t go to the web, the Obama cause is lost.

RE :”Young Avoid New Health Plans: Early Buyers of Coverage Are Older Than Expected”

They obviously missed this website for recuiting the young cash cows:

Young Invincibles is a national organization committed to mobilizing and expanding opportunities for young adults between 18 and 34 years of age on issues like higher education, health care, and jobs
http://younginvincibles.org/

Today's lesson: Getting them to vote for free in POTUS election is much easier then to get them to navigate through a broken website to fill out forms to buy something they dont need or want.

[Katya]

There is absolutely no reason for a young healthy person to buy coverage, as pre existing conditions are no longer an issue. Why wouldn’t they just wait to buy it once they actually need it? Its far cheaper to pay cash at a gen practice clinic where they post the prices and itemize the cost of everything.

I guess the Brosurance campaign really fell flat in its attempt to bring Obamacare paying customers.
