Re: what happens to the people who are losing their insurance?

That, IMO, is the real train wreck we are headed for. A lot of people are going to be hurt badly by this fiasco.

All the talk about delaying the individual mandate is a distraction. It presupposes that a one year delay will allow them to work out the so-called "glitches." Delay of the requirement to sign up without penalty doesn't alter the fact that millions have already had their policies dropped. And what about the people who have had employer based policies but the employers have made clear they intend to drop their coverage and dump their employees onto the (nonworking) exchanges?

Things are bad now. They will only get worse from here.

Incidentally: Fox is carrying the news this morning that a grand total of six people signed p under the ACA on the first day of the rollout. What a joke.
