No no. Lets reduce this to math. Much more concise. Much more rigorous.

Ok, then we have to define the underlying assumptions. What are those assumptions? What assumptions do you use?

You are to do the start. Don't expect me to do your job.

Well, my underlying assumptions are the number of healthy insured will decrease, the number of ill insured will increase, the outlays per insured person will rise dramatically.

Would you like to chime in now and show us your math skills and how that results in decreased premiums?

For example, people with medical problems being able to get insurance, low-wage workers getting medical coverage, without having a baby. Being able to take a job you want, perhaps at a smaller firm, instead of limiting yourself to jobs that offer medical insurance. And a surprising number of young people deciding to become insured.

Of course. You have done your best to make it so.

Not only are you utterly unwilling to discuss the realities of Obamacare, you are unwilling to discuss the validity of your totally absurd assumptions about basic human behavior.

We ALL know that insurance risk assessment is based in human behavior, not just math. In fact, the math is simple. It's the study and accuracy of predicting human behavior that distinguishes good risk analysis from bad.

I know that, you should know that, but yet, you've struggled very hard to be as stupid and moronic as possible. You know the truth isn't on your side... You only have ideology, and it's not a defensible one, at that.

All of these are predicated that somehow you are owed or otherwise deserve to be given things that you can't pay for.

Can you explain why that assumption is a workable idea?

Nothing you can do to change Jan 1. And the start of Obamacare. No matter how hard you try, how much to attempt to belittle someone, no matter how much you might hate it.

None of that is relevant. Obamacare still starts.

And this thread is meaningless.

Premiums subsidizing others.

Government taking from you is not "charity".

Turns out the young & healthy are not liking it much especially.
