According to the latest reports, a record number of people in the U.S. have signed up for Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) after it was announced that enrollments for the 2018 healthcare plan were open.

Regardless of the initial confusion among people who thought Obamacare was no longer functional, what with President Donald Trump planning to bury it at every opportunity that he gets, people are starting to register for ACA. The sudden spike in traffic to the site where one can register for Obamacare was noticed after Nov. 1.
According to the New York Daily News, close to 1 million visitors browsed the site on Nov.1, compared to 750,000 who visited the site on Nov. 1, 2016.

Not only that, more than 200,000 have already enrolled for the plan, which is double the number of people who signed up for it a year ago.

One of the reasons for such an unprecedented surge in the number of people signing up for Obamacare could be because its enrollments for the year 2018 close Dec 15. That gives people a narrow 40-day window to sign up for ACA, since enrollments are closed on Sundays and one also has to account for the Thanksgiving holidays.

It means the parents of those children that receive subsidies are just added to the list of leeches unwilling to do what they should be doing themselves.

I wonder what will happen next year.

Could the enrollment period for deadbeats be shortened even more?

Then Floriduhfan and rayciss Desh can pretend the rush to beat the clock is a great victory again. :rofl2:
 
Imagine how much better even than this it'd be doing if Republicans hadn't sabotaged it, killing the budget to reach out to citizens, killing the subsidies and driving out insurers and raising rates.

actually the ACA is doing just fine. 80% of enrollees have a premium under $75.00 so lets not fall for more right wing lies. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-marketplace-premiums-affordable/

How many of that 80% get a subsidy funded by someone else in order for them to get something they should be providing themselves without others being forced to offset the costs? It's a lie to say they are providing their own insurance when the ONLY way many get it is because others are forced to pay for it on their sorry behalf.

I guess that butthurt that others are covered by life-saving insurance is too much to bear. Hopefully this tidbit will soothe you: My husband and I are paying out-of-pocket for COBRA insurance; he retired last year. Our premiums are over $1000/month for something we've used twice (for routine checkups, one each) in the last year. So there you go -- our premiums are subsidizing a few others who aren't as fortunate as we are. And that's okay with us.

That's how it works, whether we taxpayers are chipping in for something that benefits all of us (fire and police protection, public schools, etc.) or your fellow co-workers are all chipping in via your paychecks so that everyone at your company has affordable coverage. You *do* have coverage, right? If you do, you can thank all your co-workers for helping you out.
 
yeap the corps are calculatingin the fact of HEALTHY workers and help to pay for that fact


they pay some taxes and everyone else pays some taxes to make sure thier workers are healthy and nit worrying about their childrens health or taking time off for such things


its a win win for corps
