The administration on Monday said fewer than 10 million Americans will enroll in Obamacare’s health exchanges this go-around, well short of the 13 million target congressional scorekeepers deemed critical to its economics, suggesting another rocky rollout in the law’s second year of full operation.
Policy advisers at the Health & Human Services Department estimated that 9 million to 9.9 million people would enroll through the exchanges — or only a slight increase over the 8 million that the administration says were active at the end of the first enrollment period this April. The Congressional Budget Office, which is the government’s official scorekeeper, had predicted the law would need 13 million customers on the exchanges.

Well then, let it die. That's good news, IMO.
and remember .. 5 MILLION lost coverage because of this, so all of this is about giving insurance to the other 4-5 million !
Obamacare is going bankrupt.
But liberals blame mean Republicans for trying to sabotage it.
Go figure.
Let the damn thing wither on the vine.
That didn’t make any difference to the Postal Service...................
I assert that those hurt by Obamacare
were exactly the people they INTENDED to hurt with Obamacare.
“stay solvent”?!?
It was not Obama and the Democrats’ intention to have ObamaCare be financially solvent. Their plan was insolvency all along; they were/are just trying to maintain the illusion of solvency through various election cycles. I’m guessing the administration will bust a gut trying to hold it together until after 2016 elections.
Here’s my prediction -—— there will be no IRS hounding of those who do not have coverage this year, maybe next. There won’t be any government prosecutions of taxpayers who don’t/can’t pay a fine, they won’t even check income against subsidies paid. All this won’t come due until January 2017.
Solution: Give hundreds of millions more tax dollars to left-wing organizations that will pretend to get more people to sign up for Obamacare, and when that doesn’t work, just start forcing people to sign up.
Given they way this administration uses numbers you can bet it will take a whole lot more than 13 million premium paying enrollees to make the plan “solvent” and there are a whole lot Less than 8 million who ever signed up and paid premiums.
Right! When was it ever solvent in the first place? There was never even a dream of it ever becoming solvent.
Or Amtrack
Just like Social Security needs more money to stay “solvent”
Solution: TAX THE PEASENTS EVEN MORE!
Simple solution. Take monies out of the defense budget to use for 6 months free trial of o’care. He gets the numbers and the monies.
Setup roadblocks to make people signup.
And we are to believe that Obamacare was ever going to be solvent; with all the taxes and subsidies, what is the definition of “solvent?”
Obamacare was never about health care. It was and is about power and control. Make tens of millions of voters dependent on the government and let them know that they must support the Regime or else.
It amazes me people still fall for this sh!t.
I feel a song coming on...”Let it Go....Let it Go....”
Part of the deceptive law's workings is to throw people off their health insurance so they'll welcome the opportunity to buy even more expensive insurance.
As Chef Emeril Lagasse would say, "Let's kick it up a notch!"
What a nice mechanism to run people through a meat grinder just so they'll be desperate for coverage, even if it's at a higher price--NOT! Thereby, of course, more revenue comes to the program, even with a constant number of people enrolled.
Repeal! Then override Zero's veto! (If he hasn't been impeached and removed by then.)

Government seems to bankrupt everything it touches, it is the secret sauce that allows them to grow bigger (and raise taxes).
In the private sector, bankruptcy is failure. In the public sector, bankruptcy is success.
