They honestly think this thing is going to survive without help? Wait until the premium spikes this fall.

Premiums will spike as will deductibles. The huge news is Anthem. If they leave the Exchange, as it looks like right now, many, many counties will be left without an insurance option and therefore no subsidies for those customers. The Aetna CEO was correct, Obamacare is in a death spiral.

I think you and I both thought it best to let Obamacare die before the GOP acting on it. I still believe that is the best way to go. That will get many more Dems on board for the changes needed since no other option is available to them and their constituents will demand they act.

I do agree it is in a "death spiral"but I don't want to see another Government "fix". Let it die, or repeal it...then just let the market "fix" Health care delivery services. It's the one thing that hasn't been tried yet but it's the only thing that will ultimately work.

Another big Goverment "fix" such as the AHCA will not fix it either.

Something like this will
