Is it not amazing that people would sign up for Obamacare when it is required by law?!

This is equivalent to stating that people get licenses before driving.

[Rurudyne]

Not me. Not now nor ever.

[DoodleDawg]

Well they’re up the creek now I guess.

Are these the people who get it free of charge?

My company just gutted our insurance coverage, hinted it was because of the "cadillac coverage" rules but that was a lie (which is why they only hinted at it). They really just want us off their books and onto Obamacare so they offered us basically Obamacare coverage for more money. In the next year if nothing changes many from my company may just move to the exchange and take the savings since the coverage is basically identical. Something like this may be at play in other places too.

Or it could just be the worthless beancounters that run my company who have done everything they can to get rid of incentives to stay there long term. Killed the pension and leveled all the positions so nobody can ever get promoted or advance, eliminated the low cost life insurance, and now made their health care the same as the crap government coverage. I can't wait for the Trump economy to really get going so I can give them the finger and move on.

What percent are on Medicaid (paid by the taxpayer) as opposed to private insurance?

[PMAS]

In many states, that’s the only way you can get a healthcare policy

[nuconvert]

Well, when you’re forced to, it’s no surprise.

If you dont have insurance you like, work hard and accumulate funds and obtain the insurance you want. I do no desire to pay your premiums and there is no constitutional right to insurance premiums. Obamacare is dead now and so is communism in health care, It is up to you now. Thank you Donal Trump. MAGA!!

[BipolarBob]

many sign up initially. They get everything they need the first two months and then drop it.

[Mr. K]

after 20 million lost their care when Obamacare went into effect, for a net loss of 11 million.

And all for only $2 Trillion (so far)

[Parley Baer]

The law will change as soon as President Trump signs the tax law legislation. Obamacare will become optional and not penalties if you chose something else.

NOTE WELL THE MANDATE AND ASSOCIATED PENALTY DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL 2019!!!

Nearly 9 million out of 318 million? What’s that ratio? 9/318? 9/318 = 0.028 = 2.8%. Nearly 3% of citizens are covered.

I thought one of the mental midget type Pols had said if BOScare was rescinded 100 million people would die.

(I will give them credit for being correct in 100 million dying BUT since that is the ultimate goal of all, I would want them to be a tad more definitive)
