None of these guys know how free market works, they never held a job or created a business.

Yet, they think they can 'sell' a product no one wants for a price that is too high!

It is quite mind boggling to think that they actually believe they can!

They think they are going to make an appeal to the young healthy people and have them willingly pay higher prices to subsidze others

That is how Sen. Harkin was defending forcing single men to carry insurance for pregnancy!

Talking point of the week apparently...it’s all the Republican’s fault for not going along with the Ponzi scheme.

We will continue to see a long line of people like the lady in another thread who can't see how she can pay for her new medical care, and one of her kids can't get enrolled at all.

And just wait till they start issuing orders to the doctors to match client with the care required....and prescriptions....don't forget all those complex prescription orders.

I see not just amputations on the wrong limb....but on the wrong patient.

.....and how it works in the UK under the government run single player scheme:

130,000 elderly patients killed every year by ‘death pathway’, claims leading UK doctor

by Thaddeus Baklinski Thu Jun 21, 2012 10:02 EST Tags: euthanasia, patrick pullicino, uk

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.”

Scaled up to the size of the US population (X6) gives over 750,000 euthanizing events a year.

Well duh.. no insurance can work if it does not have a pool of investors and a basket of participants... except this time it is the people’s health maddof ponzy scheme where the freeloader gets to waste the funds and hospitals.

When all of the prescription anti depressants and major tranqs start to run out, elected officials will need to beef up their security details. Want to see someone snap? Tell them them they can’t have their drugs. Those would be otherwise reasonable people. Wait til the subsidized set can’t get their meds.

Through all this, observers should keep calm. The Obama administration’s success at tackling many of the tasks ahead won’t be clear for months, once the open-enrollment period ends and more numbers start coming in.

The Kool-Aid flows deep on the Washington Post editorial page. Obamacare isn't even supposed to "work well". It's supposed to smash the US health care system to smithereens. (If you don't like your tumor, you still have to keep your tumor.)

Yes, people need to remember that not a single republican voted for this force fed s*** sandwich. This is an entirely owned democrat debacle.

The reason GOP governors elected out of the Medicaid expansion is that the Feds only cover people brought in under he expansion. Any people that apply and fall under the old Medicaid guidelines are the responsibility of the state.

In WA state 60,000 of the 170,000 enrollees qualified for standard Medicaid, 70,000 for the expansion. That 60,000 is going to put huge pressures on the state system.
