With so much taxpayer money being wasted on Obamacare that CBO can't even keep up with it, it's not surprising insurers are at the trough.

Great new options with $3000 deductibles, $4000 premiums and your choice of 5 doctors!

And why not join the party if Obama promises to indemnify them against losses.

More evil insurance companies. It would be so much better if they just nationalized it.

When Medicare Advantage started in my state, it had over a dozen company providers offering nearly 3 dozen different plans.

Each year, that number had shrunk.

Last year, it down to about a half-dozen providers and a dozen plans.

This year, for my area, I had 3 plans available from 3 providers.

I would expect similar with Obamacare. Insurance companies may rush in now that it seems lucrative, but many will likely drop out in future years.

“The Obama administration presented the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a victory for health care over the corporations and their profits. In fact, not only does the ACA maintain the profits of the big insurance and drug companies, but it was written for the Obama administration with the help of these very same companies.”

Seeing a money making opportunity? Hell, they wrote the law that allows them to feed at the public trough. It’s a well known fact that industry lobbyists carved out plenty of pork for themselves.

Is it not true that insurers are flocking to get into the game because the game has been rigged as a win-win for them with the feds guaranteeing losses?

The companies now see that the government is covering any potential losses they may have. Why the hell would they not want in on that?

A quick check of google suggests to me that “Elsie” is a paid shill for OsamaObamaCare judging from the several pieces I found that were written by her singing its praises.Any chance that she,*too*,might be exempt as are so many others?

Obama gave many speeches about the Insurers and that they were making way too much money ,so now he’s going to pay them off with tax payer money to keep them on side

Eight million of 320 million Americans have signed up for ObamaCare and this has the “insurers” flocking to ObamaCare? Get the flock outta here!

Didn’t Jeh Johnson declare that welfare doesn’t encourage people to get welfare? Heck if someone called me up and told me they will force people to buy my services and pay me what I want regardless if I provide any services I’m all in.
