In order to be at all viable, Obamacare must have lots of healthy people who don't need much medical care, signing up so their premiums will support the people who are chronically ill, or elderly, or in high-risk professions, who will need lots of medical care.
Which kind do you suppose have signed up, during the first two weeks it has been open? ("Open" in a theoretical since, anyway... assuming anyone has been able to get the trouble-plagues websites to work)
Mostly healthy people who don't need much care? Or mostly people who need lots of care/ Or half and half?
Actually, we shouldn't need to guess. The government knows exactly who signed up... since they are signing up with the government, and the government will be checking who has Obamacare and who hasn't, so it can decide who to penalize.
But for some reason, government is being curiously quiet about who has signed up. No information about how many people with pre-existing conditions (supposedly one of Obamacare's crown jewels), has come out. No information about how many people who had difficulty getting insurance before, but who easily got Obamacare.
Why not, do you suppose?
Could it be that the vast majority of signees, are people who will be taking much more out of the system than they put in? While the rest are telling the liberals to go screw, that they aren't signing up for a money hole they don't need and never wanted?
Has anyone heard any reliable information about what kind of clients have signed up, and what kind haven't?
It's been open for what, 2 weeks & already you're spouting conspiracies? Shocking!!
Funny they want "smaller government" but still want real time reports on the most trivial aspects of ACA. Who's gonna pay for accumulating and processing that information?

So you want no accountability?
Eventhough this program is bleeding money worse than a stuck hog in a slaughter house.

Smaller government certainly does not mean "no accountability". You'll find that if there IS accountability in our government, we will able to get by with a smaller government.
We don't need real-time reports, but certainly it isn't too much to ask for weekly updates. But something tells me we won't see any of those before next March.

Exactly -- nothing like leaving the fox guarding the henhouse.
"Nothing to see here, folks -- just millions and millions of people now getting healthcare, just like I promised. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
I can say, unequivocally, that had Obamacare been forced on me right out of college (or, 26 these days ) that I would have accepted the $95 fine and took my chances on good health. Right or wrong, that would have been my decision. I don't think today's young adults are that much different in thought when it comes down to weighing out meager income and out of control student debt (among other life expenses).
