This is why they have to be denied any choice. Of course they will make the wrong choice. They are young, naïve and more interested on spending that money on stupid crap, tattoos and piercings or whatever. Then they get injured jackassing around and guess who gets to pay for it? We do, that's who.

I don't give a steaming dump if any of you think it violates their rights. F**k'em. They need to pay in whether the dumb asses like it or not.

I would be interested to see the demographics for those that have signed so far.

We simply stayed with the insurance we had, doubt that we qualify for any assistance in the premims in any case. I wonder how many more people there are in that same position?

The two issues are tied thusly: because the site is such a disaster Obie & co are talking about allowing folks to keep their current policies.

Unfortunately that cuts into some of the folks the insurance cos were figuring to sign up. Long and short the rollout was even worse than it seems.
