More news about the harsh realities of the ACA (AKA ObamaCare)
“This post is a round-up of the current issues in the never-ending saga of ObamaCare, Rube Goldberg device (an example for those who came in late[1]). There are three current issues:
1) The new and improved ObamaCare website. Does it make “smart shopping” possible? Spoiler alert: No.
2) The collapse of ObamaCare co-ops. Was it pre-ordained when ObamaCare was passed? Spoiler alert: Yes, but there’s unexpected hope.
3) The current court challenge to ObamaCare, Sissel. What does it tell us about Democrats?”
(There’s plenty more to cover — premium increases, for one, as well as the actual policies made available — but these three issues are the hot stories right now.)
