In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the insured.

Next we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.

To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured for free.

There, I hope that this clarifies this issue once & for all.

The chart line for Vermont looks enormous—until you check the numbers, and see that it’s 6%. Wow, that’s huge!

*********************************************************
6% from a total state population of slightly more than 626,000 people works out to what? 37,500 people? Wow, that’s impressive (sarc).

Not really. Since we do not have ANY data on who has actually paid a premium...

Bingo.

Next Week in Business Insider: How much wood would it be possible for Woodchucks, Beavers, Groundhogs, Hedgehogs, and other Chuck-like rodents to chuck, if indeed they actually were capable of it? Exclusive to BI!

Subtract the prisoners that were signed up, and the number drops a bit.

IIRC, there’s a time restriction on transferring property to another before filing for medicaid, or filing for bankruptcy protection, etc.

Here in CA a 25 year old guy paid $69 but in essence gets no service.
A $60 co-pay for a doctor’s visit after he pays the first $6000 of his yearly deductible.
So all it appears to be is a tax. How much of these payments are monies being left in some government budget?
Follow the money, that is what I say.

Well, I think the co-pays for most doctor visits actually do apply from the outset. My previous employer dumped everybody into the exchange, so I’m at least somewhat familiar.

It’s a raw deal, especially for young people, but we do ourselves no favors in opposition by overstating the negatives.

OK...94% of Vermonters DIDN’T sign up...I thought it would be 100% who would have signed up.
