Thus you condemn the unfortunately new uninsured. Class criminals, all of them. To the killing fields.

WR,
The smart ones are saying, "That was the best thing that company ever did for me. I found twice the coverage at half the price they quoted me for their 'replacement', thanks to Obama and Covered California"
You really believe this bullshit, don't you?

Most of them will find plans that are either the same as before, or more extensive (i.e. more expensive). The only way they'll end up "paying less" is if their incomes are low enough to qualify for subsidies.

Meanwhile, only 150K have signed up via Covered California so far. That's nowhere near the 1M who lost their insurance, much less the 7M who didn't even have insurance to begin with.

There is nothing that ObamaCare has done to lower the cost of insurance, except in the most catastrophic or dire examples. The whole idea rests on the notion that the young, rich, and healthy will sign up for insurance plans that they don't need (i.e. overly-comprehensive), but that's unlikely.
