This article highlights the fundamental, innate issues that Obamacare has. The website problems are irrelevant. You could find a few 12 years olds on the street and they could eventually fix the website. The real meat and potatoes of this problem are fundamentally entrenched in the design of the law itself. Please take time to read this article and provide some throughtful feedback. It really does hit on one of the biggest issues with Obamacare and I believe that even supporters will have to acknowledge that the issues cited are fundamental problems.--------------------Here is a quote from the article, "It is also ironic that high-deductible, catastrophic plans are precisely what young people should be buying in the first place. They are inexpensive because they provide coverage for unlikely, but expensive, events. Routine care is best paid for out-of-pocket by value conscious consumers. But Obamacare outlaws these plans, in favor of what amounts to prepaid medical treatment that shifts the cost of services to taxpayers. In such a system, patients have no incentive to contain costs. Since the biggest factor driving health care costs higher in the first place has been the over use of insurance that results from government-provided tax incentives, and the lack of cost accountability that results from a third-party payer system, Obamacare will bend the cost curve even higher. The fact that Obamacare does nothing to rein in costs while providing an open-ended insurance subsidy may be good news for hospitals and insurance companies, but it's bad news for taxpayers, on whom this increased burden will ultimately fall." -Peter Schiff ----- RealClearMarkets - The Website Is Fixable, But Obamacare Isn't
Dems will soon be denying they had anything to do with Obamacare. Even O himself will do this. It's what leftists do when their abject stupidity and corruption are so exposed even they can see it.

They will claim this was the best they could do with all the GOP obstuction eventhough not one Republican even voted for this garbage. This is what happens when there is one-party rule in government.
Exactly. But it needs to be reiterated and acknowledged by the laws supporters. The GOP gave them every opportunity to drop this garbage law...but they've refused time and time again.
So your objection is it places the cost burdens of the old over the entire population. Ignoring the fact that while younger people may be slightly impacted, that over time they will benefit from it? Basically its a health care investment. And that people with extreme incomes will cover for some of the people with low incomes. All the while saying "most millionaires started from nothing" and not seeing that this means that when they were poor and getting a subsidy it helped them..... Sometimes the discussions are just a bit surreal.
