Just because there were 2 million applications in the first 2 hours doesn't mean anything, that's not unusual for any web-site with its initial launch.
As others mentioned, applicants think it's "Free", but the costs will be much higher in many other ways, and I'm not just talking about in monetary ways, but others, such as jobs, if this so-called Affordable Healthcare Act goes forward.
The costs will be high for the Republicans who tried to prevent Americans from gaining access to affordable healthcare.
You have until March 31st 2014 to avoid the penalty. There's no rush.
You have forever to avoid the penalty, adjust your withholding so there is no tax refund which you should be doing anyway. No refund, nothing to collect from.

Look for the big increase in premiums and less coverage. I get the moral argument for healthcare for everyone but funding for this....I foresee disaster and I hope I am wrong. But I am already getting less for more in anticipation of this. Waiting on 2014.
Two of my pet peeves are astronomical hospital fees which don't make sense and health care fraud. Largely ignored.
Explain to me again why *I* should have to pay premiums so that a 60 year old male with a heart condition can get health insurance? I'm missing the point here. If the coverage was OPTIONAL, then I would say "fine", but I am REQUIRED by law to buy insurance (that I will not use), so that other people can receive health care.
What part of that is actually OK with you?

The part that comes from living in a mutually beneficial society in which I don't have to watch my fellow citizen die of a heart condition because he wasn't allowed to buy insurance and get care. In the most prosperous nation on earth, no less.

Then perhaps the cookie jar needs refilling. We have enough plutocrats to fund these programs.
You need working people, TAXPAYERS to fill the cookie jar! We have record unemployment. Early retirees because they can't find work(many on said programs).
And we have too many people riding the welfare train and "stay at home moms" getting MORE benefits for having more kids!

Oh, wait ... never mind. Silly question.
You are free to be charitable with your own money, but do not put you hands on mine. The government was not created to provide charity.
Geeze..it's like handing the NSA all your personal and financial data so you can compare prices.
I had no intention of doing that.
Uncle Sam is going to have to work to get all my data and comb through their various systems instead.
Trust me they aready have all your information.
