    New price on a broken, insecure, and 1/3 complete website $1bil. The whole thing was to be less then $100 mil.

    By most state's laws a policy with the amount of changes required by obama care are new policies. There for the old ones are dropped. The new ones are much more expensive and you are forced to pay for stuff you will never use.

    It's just more transfer of wealth. The only problem this time is it's not from the rich it's from the middle class who don't have the extra money and can't get the subsidies. So we will just create more poor.

    NOTHING about the law was designed to make health care affordable. It was designed to gain more power and control. Typical Washington for both sides. Obama paying the insurance companies is the next step to single payer.

    No other President would ever get away with changing law illegally like he does because everyone is afraid to criticize Him.

    When a society creates a government that sets out to redistribute the people's wealth, those in that government always end up like the bank robber dividing up the heist:

    One for you, one for me

    One for you, two for me

    One for you, three for me

    One for you, four for me

    Etc, etc.........

    They haven't even written and developed the part that actually pays... Obamacare is an exercise in incompetence.

    Obama says that the government will use the taxpayers money to just pay the insurance companies whatever they ask for now, and then review it later. Utter stupidity in action.

    so I guess I should be like the general populace and think that 50k simultaneous users on a $600M dollar website is a GREAT achievement?

    What we knew was going to happen has already begun. The very sick, and elderly, the one's who get more out of the program than they put in, are signing up. The young and healthy, who put more into the program than they get out (i.e. the people who are desperately needed to make the program financially solvent), aren't. It's not sustainable without serious change.

    Yesterday the dem from Connecticut was going on about inequality between rich and poor. The problem is she's a millionaire ($20mill). She should set an example by giving away her money before giving away ours.

    This is a fundemental problem I have with born into wealth Democrats fighting for the common man. Some have their hearts in the right place, but not their wallets. They don't get the reality of being poor or even middle class; they've never been there. How Nancy Pelosi or Al Gore can champion themselves as spokespeople for the middle and lower class is beyond me. It's paternalistic, and it's demeaning in a way.

    Scott, the inurance companies CAN'T meet the new requirements without raising prices; basically you're asking them to take on more risk and expand coverage without raising prices--it's not feasible. That's why either they have to get an extension on the requirements, or drop everyone and start over. Even Obama get's that.

    As for the program not being ready for prime time, that has absolutely nothing to do with defunding, but has everything to do with who they chose to develop the sign-up software.

    The system as is, is the most fiscally irresponsible setup possible. Basically the ACA is going to be a high risk pool at discounted prices, good for those who need it, horrible for the young people and middle class who can't afford it, who will be able to find cheaper insurance privately or pay the penalty, essentially defunding the ACA. It will get worse yearly--it will death spiral.

    Only solution is a single payer system, which no one wants, OR, tort reform, and a cap on what an insurance company has to pay for a catastrophic medical situation--where the govt. could have a role. But that would keep insurance prices down, as they would be competing against one another with a safety net in place, and we wouldn't want private business to run the sector when the government can obviously do it so much better....

    I saw a title of an article on Yahoo finance news "Obamacare is turning out to be nothing like Medicare" expecting it to say how great obamacare was. Quite the opposite. Even the media is turning on obamacare.

    ....and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until 2015 and businesses have to comply along with all the individuals who might have gotten the one year grandfather.

    This is exactly the problem, even our fearless leader has admitted it, the young were to pay for our elder's health care. So the question is when they were at the big table deciding how they were going to screw over the American People, where did this show up on the the Pro and Con list? There is no way this scenario did not come up. Where did it place on the scale of Probability? I bet pretty high, if not then we really have clueless wonders running the show.

    Wow this sounds and awful like Social Security doesn't it? ^^^ A text book definition of insanity!
