Also, isn't this the same thing as forcing people to purchase say peanut butter, even though they may dislike peanut butter or are allergic to peanuts, so peanut butter is cheaper for other folks?

Yes, you on spot on with that analogy only you don't get to keep your old peanut butter and the cost of it goes up dramatically. |

Don't get me wrong. I think there is a need for an insurance exchange that accepts pre existing conditions. I think a child with a congenital defect for example, should be able to have coverage. However, it shouldn't be pooled with every other insurance in order to lower the cost. All that does is raises it for everyone else. If the government wants to subsidize something, then subsidize those type of policies, not policies covering fatasses with diabetes, smokers, or lazy asses that don't want to work. |

JFC perfect example. The exchanges are managed by the government. The insurance policies are still run by insurance companies. It is in the hands of the private sector.

However, the goverment managing and / or running the exchanges is not optimal in my opinion.

People are suffering sticker shock because they haven't had to pay attention to what healthcare actually costs unless they've had health problems before. Eventually, IMO, people are going to realize that we spend way too much on health care as a country and will demand single payer once the public starts to do a cost/benefit analysis as costs continue to rise. |

Bingo! The dipshits that didn't have, or couldn't afford health care before the ACA are the only ones benefiting. Everyone else gets screwed.
