And it sucks. I wish they hadn't caved in to the Republicans and instead gone ahead and passed the public option rather than the Republican individual mandate. Better yet - I wish we could have what a majority of Americans want: a universal, single-payer healthcare system.

They should have left it alone, maybe created a high risk pool, and been done with it. All the nonsense about the 44 million or whatever it was that weren't insured was just that, nonsense. Most of em were folks who didnt' want insurance, were already covered under another program and didn't sign up, or illegals. More of the government fixing a problem that didn't really exist and now we have a complete mess on our hands.
As they should be. They are high risk. Now if the government provided a high risk pool that was subsidized some it would make more sense than taking over the entire healthcare industry IMO. Government provides high risk insurance in flood and hurricane zones which cost more.

Not necessarily. People are eligible to join a high risk pool if they have been turned down for insurance by ANY company regardless of the reason and regardless of how bogus the reason. You may want to watch it with assumptions if you haven't seen it in action close up.
Who decides if the reason was bogus? Obamacare forces insurance companies to cover everybody no matter what issues they have. It will force many to go out of business which is what they want to begin with.
