Here is an excerpt from a Health Care Blog which I just found, of course those of you that are totally against any affordable health care reform in this country - just continue to use the Emergency Rooms and not pay the bill - the Taxpayers will pick up the cost of your care!!! Yes, the folks most likely to enroll in December are NOT the Young Invincibles. However, thinking insurance companies eager to grow their customer base by tens of millions of subscribers have budgeted for the losses related to the rush of long-uninsured and under insured enrollees signing up for Year 1, and the Young Invincibles will follow as the penalties for non-coverage increase over time. No death spiral is upon us. (Would a single payor system have made more sense? Sure. But in a country where Gummint outta my Medicare! is seen as a reasonable political statement by many, we got about as good as we could get.) The insurance companies are still in control of premium costs, no matter what everyone is saying - the Gummint isnt in control but is putting some stronger restrictions on what the insurance companies can and can NOT do!!! healthblawg/2013/11/health-exchange-enrollment-speed-of-light-or-molasses.html
