It really depends on how many sick people signed up and how chronic their illnesses are and how much their ongoing care can cost.

We're in new territory here because there are no limits anymore.
Insurers can only estimate what chronically ill patients might cost them in a year.

This can also be blamed on Barack unilaterally waiving the employer mandate. No money is coming in, but lots of demands for service.

Which is exactly what we could expect stupid people to do when they personally don't have any clue as to what they are doing.

You know what I mean, take a $3 million dollar vacay to Hawaii and then get your underlings to lunch together with lobbyists and what you get at the end is horse manure... runny horse manure.

And as far as having a pen and doing anything he wants because he is the president of Venezuela (opps, I mean the United States) this stupid, ignorant, moron of an idiot of a president is about to receive one huge lesson come November because he is scaring the hell out of millions of people myself included.

I am hoping the democrats get the kick back and throw down they will remember for decades because they have it coming. That said never underestimate the ability of some idiot republicans to snatch defeat from the very Jaws of victory. In other words I am not going to count my chickens before they hatch but we will see.

Just out of curiosity, I looked it up:

Quote:
51 exchanges in the states and the District of Columbia will have a total of 254 participating carriers, for an average of five carriers each.[8] New York will have the most, with 16 participating carriers, while New Hampshire and West Virginia will have the fewest, with only one carrier offering plans in each state’s exchange.

They are still waiting for the "official" reply from the OFA Twitter feed.

Or maybe a reply from one of the hollow-headed Hollywoodiots.

Or, maybe, just maybe........it's starting to sink in that they've been duped by their boy.

Good reason to question Obamacare enrollment tally
First laugh of the morning for me. Two-legged stool sample! Somewhat understated but funny!
